Player to watch – Brennan Johnson
Tottenham’s Europa League Final goal-scoring hero Brennan Johnson is a start name for Wales and the versatile forward could be tasked with leading the line in a fluid Welsh frontline against Liechtenstein on Friday.
Johnson hoping to improve his international output
Johnson has scored just five times in 35 appearances for Wales since making his senior bow for the Dragons in November 2020 and the 24-year-old will be keen to boost his numbers on the international stage soon. The rapid attacker should have opportunities to do that against Liechtenstein.
