Ben Davies and Brennan Johnson have been named in the latest Wales squad for an away World Cup qualifier and home friendly next month.
Currently occupying second place in Group J with one defeat from their four games in this qualifying campaign, Brennan on the scoresheet in that 4-3 loss in Belgium in June, up next they take on Kazakhstan on 4 September (kick-off 3pm UK).
Ben scored his third international goal and provided an assist the last time the two nations met in Wales in the opening group game back in March, the Dragons running out 3-1 winners, and travel to Astana looking to get back to winning ways before a friendly against one of the 2026 World Cup host nations Canada in Swansea five days later (7.45pm UK).
Sitting one point behind group leaders North Macedonia in Group J, first place seals a spot at next summer's major tournament in the United States, Mexico and Canada while four remaining spots will be determined by play-offs involving the 12 group runners-up and four teams from last year's UEFA Nations League phase.
Brennan has picked up where he left off last term, finishing as our top goalscorer with 11 Premier League goals and 18 in all competitions, with two goals in as many games during our winning start to the league campaign in 2025/26. The 24-year-old currently has 37 caps and six goals for his nation.
Experienced defender Ben is closing in on his century for Wales with 96 caps to date and is expected to continue as captain with Aaron Ramsey not selected in Craig Bellamy's 25-player squad.
