' No Joe Allen or Joe Ledley '

Sweden v Wales
Neither Joe Allen nor Joe Ledley will be risked in Stockholm, the Liverpool man being eased back from a knee problem and Palace's midfielder not risking his hard work to recover from a fractured leg in less than a month before the tournament kicks off.
The two sat behind Ramsey in qualifying brought a real balance to midfield and would probably be Coleman's first choice trio if everyone were fit and well.
Andy King, though, is a player who is underrated by many and will be looking to prove there should be no fear if the bearded-one doesn't make it back in time for Bordeaux or beyond.
Allen remains a key man for Wales with the way he can move the ball quickly from defence to offence and Coleman will be looking for in-game nudges from the likes of David Edwards and David Vaughan that they can be counted on to perform his role.

Personally I thought Dave Edwards had some great games during qualifiers and Andy King has not really put a foot wrong all season for club or country

Tbf Ledley if fit should go as he is an experienced player and may need to call on that experience in last 15 mins when 1-0 up against Germany in the final

I don't think they should play a friendly with 5 days to go...

Totally agree with Krabb I don't see what good or value this game has to offer the players or the fans. The fact that it can only be viewed on some random sports channel say it all.
