Broadhead Out of Wales Squad - Ipswich Town News

Town forward Nathan Broadhead has joined teammate Wes Burns in dropping out of the Wales squad for their Nations League games due to a minor groin injury.

The Welsh FA has announced that Leeds United’s Charlie Crew has replaced the 26-year-old in the party taking on Türkiye away on Saturday and Iceland at home on the following Tuesday.

Broadhead is yet to make an appearance for Town this season, the only member of the 25-man Premier League squad still to play other than third-choice keeper Cieran Slicker, having suffered a hamstring injury in the first week of pre-season.

Since then, the former Everton man has been fit enough to be included on the bench on a number of occasions but wasn't in the 20-man squad at Tottenham on Sunday.

Broadhead's only two competitive appearances this season came for Wales, from the start in the September friendly against Slovakia and off the bench in the Nations League game against Montenegro.

In total, the Bangor-born forward has won 13 full caps, scoring two international goals.

On Monday, Burns dropped out of the squad in order to receive treatment for a knock.
