Paul Bodin’s Cymru under-21 team are in Moldova for their latest Uefa under-21 qualifying match.
Manager Bodin has a 20-man squad with him for Friday’s fixture at the District Sports Complex, Orhei.
It will be a third Uefa qualifier for Wales following a 1-0 win against Belgium plus a 5-1 loss against Germany and their first away match.
Bodin has been able to call in Ben Woodburn and Dylan Levitt, who have been a regular part of Ryan Giggs’ senior squad during the last 12 months.
