Wales defender Joe Rodon has been selected for the national team's upcoming Nations League fixtures, even though he has not played a competitive match for more than two months due to injury.

The centre-back, who last featured for his club in early September, was named in the squad announced on Wednesday. Wales manager Rob Page has opted to include Rodon as he continues his recovery, hoping the defender can regain fitness in time for the matches.

Rodon's inclusion comes as a boost for Wales, who are preparing for crucial Nations League encounters. The 26-year-old has been a regular in the Welsh defence when fit, and his experience could be valuable despite the lack of recent game time.
