Wales U21 head coach Matty Jones has picked an inexperienced squad for their trip to Malaga to play Norway U21, with 12 of the 21-strong group uncapped at U21 level.

Wales are due to play Norway in the afternoon of Friday 6th June, which will be the team’s final match before they kick off their 2027 UEFA U21 EURO
qualifying campaign later this year.

They begin that campaign at home to Denmark – the group’s top seeds – on September 8th.

With a new cycle set to begin, Jones has selected a number of inexperienced players.

Lewys Benjamin, Joel Cotterill, Cian Ashford, Kai Andrews, Sam Parker, Dylan Lawlor, Rhys Thomas and Luey Giles were all called up to Craig Bellamy’s senior training camp earlier this month and are selected by Jones.

Wales U21 squad:

Evan Watts (Swansea City), Lewys Benjamin (Wolves), Luke Armstrong (Cardiff City), Archie Harris (AFC Bournemouth), Luey Giles (Cardiff City), Zac Williams (Crewe Alexandra), Ben Hammond (Nottingham Forest), Thierry Katsukunya (Aston Villa), Dylan Lawlor (Cardiff City), Sam Parker (Swansea City), Alex Williams (West Bromwich Albion), Rhys Thomes (Manchester City), Joel Cotterill (Swansea City), Kai Andrews (Coventry City), Jonathan Bland (Barnsley), Joel Colwill (Cardiff City), Troy Perrett (Cardiff City), Cian Ashford (Cardiff City), Tanatswa Nyakuhwa (Cardiff City), Cameron Congreve (Swansea City), Chris Popov (Leicester City)
