Wales: Wales already knew they would be without star pair Aaron Ramsey (thigh) and Gareth Bale (calf) for the clash, midfielder Andy King (hamstring) also not called up and defenders James Collins (groin) and Paul Dummett (knee) also absent. Hal Robson-Kanu has failed to return from a hamstring problem and Neil Taylor is unlikely to recover from a dead leg to feature while the head injury sustained by Ben Davies in action for Spurs last week means he is likely to be kept on the side until Monday’s game in the Ukraine.
Northern Ireland: Left-back Chris Brunt has been ruled out of the Euros after suffering a knee injury for West Brom. Manchester United’s Paddy McNair is drafted in, though manager Michael O’Neill could consider Jonny Evans, Gareth McAuley and Craig Cathcart in a back three. Kyle Lafferty is included up front, but former Newport man Conor Washington may make an appearance off the bench.
