Williams Called Up By Wales

Ashley Williams has been called up by Wales for next month's 2018 World Cup qualifier against Moldova.

The Wales captain is one of a 23-man party who will kick off the nation's journey in the competition at Cardiff City Stadium on 5 September.

Should Williams feature, he would earn his 66th cap for the Euro 2016 semi-finalists.

Chris Coleman's side have been drawn in Group D of European qualifying for the tournament in Russia, alongside Moldova, Austria, Serbia, Republic of Ireland and Georgia.

Wales, currently 11th in the FIFA rankings, will be looking to reach the finals of a World Cup competition for the first time since 1958.
