Euro 2021 Qualifying: Wales under-21 boss Bodin announces squad for upcoming Belgium test

Wales under-21 manager Paul Bodin has announced his 18-man squad for the Euro 2021 qualifying clash with Belgium.

The squad includes five Swansea City players in Brandon Cooper, Joe Lewis, Liam Cullen, Dan Williams and Oliver Cooper.

Cardiff City also have a strong representation with four players in the squad: George Ratcliffe, Sam Bowen, Mark Harris and James Waite.

Bodin’s side currently sit fifth in Group 9 in Euro 2021 qualifying, having been defeated by Bosnia and Herzegovina in their previous fixture.

They face Belgium – who currently top the standings – in their next game, while clashes with Moldova and Germany follow in November.

Wales will leapfrog the Bosnians into third place with victory over Belgium, and they could also draw level on points with Germany in the unlikely event that they are defeated by Moldova in their next match.

Wales under-21 squad to face Belgium:

Adam Przybek (Ipswich Town), George Ratcliffe (Cardiff City), Cameron Coxe (Solihull Moors), Brandon Cooper (Newport County, on loan from Swansea City), Regan Poole (Milton Keynes Dons), Joe Lewis (Swansea City), Ryan Astley (Everton), Joe Adams (Brentford), Morgan Boyes (Fleetwood Town, on loan from Liverpool), Liam Cullen (Swansea City), Dan Williams (Swansea City), Aaron Lewis (Lincoln City), Sam Bowen (Cardiff City), Mark Harris (Cardiff City), Sion Spence (Crystal Palace), James Waite (Cardiff City), Oliver Cooper (Swansea City), Ryan Stirk (Birmingham City)
