Wales captain Ben Davies is set to rejoin the national squad for upcoming friendlies against Ghana and Romania after recovering from an ankle injury that required surgery earlier this year. The 33-year-old Tottenham Hotspur defender has been sidelined since January. Joining him is Burnley right-back Connor Roberts, who is in contention for his first competitive match in a year. Roberts missed the entire 2025-26 season following a groin injury in Brussels and a subsequent Achilles problem.
Chris Mepham has also been recalled to the squad, though injuries have forced Jordan James, Rubin Colwill, Liam Cullen, and Mark Harris to withdraw. Wales will host Ghana at Cardiff City Stadium on 2 June before traveling to face Romania in Bucharest. The Romania match marks a reunion between the two nations for the first time since 1993, with Gheorghe Hagi set to manage his first home game for Romania after succeeding the late Mircea Lucescu.
Ghana, under new head coach Carlos Queiroz, will face Wales for the first time as part of their preparations. These friendlies are crucial for Wales as they gear up for their upcoming Nations League campaign against Portugal, Norway, and Denmark in September.
