Wales fear Nottingham Forest’s Brennan Johnson will miss part or all of their opening Euro 2024 qualifiers due to injury.
Johnson had been a doubt going into Friday’s Premier League clash with Newcastle United, with Steve Cooper saying he only had a small chance of playing, having come off with a groin issue in the 3-1 defeat at Tottenham. The 21-year-old did play and completed the entire 90 minutes as Newcastle snatched a 2-1 win thanks to Alexander Isak’s last-gasp penalty.
However, Wales have revealed Johnson will not join up with the squad until Thursday, just two days before the toughest game in their group, away to Croatia, on Saturday night. Rob Page’s side then host Latvia in Cardiff on Tuesday.
