Huddersfield Town goalkeeper Danny Ward has been called-up to the latest Wales squad for an upcoming World Cup qualifier.
Chris Coleman’s squad will host the Republic of Ireland in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
Ward and his teammates will play the game on Friday 24 March 2017; 7.45pm kick-off.
Wales currently sits third in World Cup qualifying Group D with six points from its opening four games. The Welshmen’s next opponent sits top of the group with 10 points; four ahead of Wales.
The first placed side will advance to the final tournament in Russia once all 10 group games have been played, with the eight best runners-up from the groups advancing to the second round of qualifying.
With the Sky Bet Championship taking an international break at this time, Danny will have time to re-join the Terriers ahead of the Club’s match against Burton Albion on Saturday 1 April.
The ‘keeper is the third member of David Wagner’s First Team squad to be called on international duty this month; he follows Aaron Mooy for Australia and Elias Kachunga for DR Congo.
