Rabbi Matondo has been called up by Wales
Ryan Giggs has added Manchester City's Rabbi Matondo to his squad that will face Albania on Tuesday.
The uncapped 18-year-old, who is the fastest player on City's books, has yet to feature for Pep Guardiola's first-team squad.
He has been getting game-time for the club's under-23 outfit.
Matondo, who grew up in Cardiff and was part of Cardiff City's academy, has been involved with national under-21s set-up and now he has been given the opportunity under Giggs.

He was born in Liverpool, meaning he is dual-qualified for Wales and England.
"I feel Welsh," he said in an extensive interview last month.
"I'm really happy and honoured to say that I'm Welsh. I'm so happy to see the other youngsters doing so well at the moment. It motivates me too because I remember myself playing with these players during the younger age groups in the Wales set-up, and now they've gone on to do so well and all fully deserve their first team call-ups.

"I'm really happy and obviously it inspires me to push to their level and get into the Wales first team."
It is a move that has pleased Wales supporters.

The lad would be playing in the prem for Cardiff if the system was better, unfortunately everything is set up to allow the top six to keep getting better which is exactly what’s happening. One of my hates of football.
