England turned on the style in their last World Cup qualifier, thrashing hosts Serbia 5-0 last month, and Thomas Tuchel’s men are hoping to kick on in Thursday’s friendly against Wales.
The Three Lions have won their last seven internationals against this week’s opponents, the most recent of which was a 3-0 group-stage victory at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
But the Welsh are going well in World Cup qualifying under Craig Bellamy, who will have one eye on Monday’s crucial Group J clash with Belgium in Cardiff.
Team news
England have called up Manchester City wing-back Nico O’Reilly for the first time after Chelsea’s Reece James pulled out of the squad due to injury.
Arsenal winger Noni Madueke and Newcastle full-back Tino Livramento are also injured, while head coach Thomas Tuchel has omitted Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish and Adam Wharton.
Veteran Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey has joined Leeds United winger Dan James on the sidelines, with Cardiff City’s Isaak Davies and Rubin Colwill called up as replacements.
