These players could be joined by the Welsh contingent: Ben Davies and Brennan Johnson, with the Dragons having secured a spot in the World Cup playoffs.
Additionally, Romania have also secured a spot in the playoffs via the Nations League route, which means that Radu Dragusin still has a shot of being at the World Cup.
