Town wing-back Wes Burns has been handed his Wales debut in this evening’s UEFA Nations League tie against Poland in Wroclaw (KO 5pm, live on S4C or Premier 1 HD).

Burns, 27, was a late call into the squad, which has been at a training camp in Portugal for the last week, the third time he has been selected for a senior party having previously been included in 2015 and 2016 without playing a game.

Also in the XI facing the Poles are former Town striker Kieffer Moore, ex-Blues loanee Jonny Williams and Ipswich-born Portsmouth midfielder Joe Morrell.

Blues centre-half Elkan Baggott, 19, was named on the bench for Indonesia for their friendly against Bangladesh in Bandung, which kicked-off at 2.30pm, and has come on to win his second cap at half-time with the scoreline 0-0.

blues1 added 16:44 - Jun 1 Really pleased for him. He deserves it. But there is a part of me wishing he wasnt playing, bcse knowing our luck, he'll get a bad injury and miss all or a large part of next season. Hope he has a great game tho.

Veggie added 17:17 - Jun 1 Please don't play too well Wes. We don't want any Prem teams sniffing around now do we? And please don't get injured whatever you do.

chepstowblue added 17:35 - Jun 1 Seems to be playing as a left wing back. Just hit a beautiful volley which was deflected wide. I can never understand managers playing somebody in a position different to that for which he got picked in the first place. I guess it's all about versatility.
