Everton and Sunderland striker Nathan Broadhead has been called up to Rob Page's Wales squad for their upcoming World Cup play-off final and UEFA Nations League ties.
Broadhead was once heralded as one of the next big things in Welsh football and has gone some way to justifying that tag courtesy of a tremendously successful campaign on Wearside, despite a three-month stint on the sidelines with a hamstring injury. The 24-year-old, on loan from Everton, has netted 13 goals in 26 games for the Black Cats, who are currently preparing for a League One play-off final with Wycombe.
There are otherwise few surprises in Page's squad, with captain Gareth Bale invariably included despite his continued lack of game-time for Real Madrid. Fellow star Aaron Ramsey also gets the nod and will hope to put his disappointment in the Europa League final behind him after missing a crucial spot-kick for Rangers in their penalty shootout defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt.
