Blues duo Wes Burns and Nathan Broadhead have been named in the Wales squad for their Euro 2024 qualifiers later this month.

The Welsh take on Croatia at Stadion Poljud in Split on Saturday 25th March and then Latvia in Cardiff three days later.

Broadhead has previously been called up but so far without winning a senior cap, while Burns won three last year.

The pair will miss the trip to Barnsley a week on Saturday unless the Blues have a third player called up, which seems certain to be the case with Greg Leigh expected to be named in the Jamaica squad, while Sam Morsy is on Egypt’s preliminary overseas list, which has happened on previous occasions without the skipper being included in the final party.

Meanwhile, former Blues loanee Jonny Williams, currently with Swindon, has announced his international retirement as he approaches his 30th birthday having won 33 full caps, featuring in three major tournaments.

Orraman added 11:15 - Mar 15 Quite a variety of opinions on this subject. Personally I would prefer the game to be off. I am however concerned about Sam Morsy avoiding a yellow card on Saturday. He has now gone nine games without one which is a record for this season (if not all time for him!!). Can he control his enthusiasm and splendid desire not to get beat in check against Shrewsbury? We do have good cover in Luongo, Humphreys and now possibly Ball but we need more than good cover against our next two potential opponents. Keep cool, Sam

Linkboy13 added 09:19 - Mar 16 From what ive seen of Ball i wouldn't call him good cover or reliable injury wise for that matter. Looks good on paper but hasn't done it on the grass.
