“The midfielder played 75 minutes yesterday against Birmingham’s U21s, and will now link up with fellow team-mates Karl Darlow, Joe Rodon and Dan James in Craig Bellamy’s Wales camp.”
Wales play Turkey in Kayseri on Saturday, trailing the Group B4 leaders by two points heading into the final round of Nations League fixtures.
Bellamy’s side finish their campaign against Iceland in Cardiff three days later.
Wales will contest the Nations League play-offs in March should they finish group runners-up behind Turkey.
