Daniel Barden: Norwich keeper recalled to Wales U21 squad after cancer

Norwich City goalkeeper Daniel Barden has been recalled to the Wales Under-21 squad following successful treatment for testicular cancer.

The 21-year-old, who was diagnosed with the condition in October 2021, last played for Wales Under-21s in a 4-0 win against Bulgaria in September 2021.

Manager Paul Bodin has also included six uncapped players for two final Euro 2023 qualifiers next month against Netherlands and Gibraltar in Llanelli.

Wales are out of contention to qualify.

Bodin is unable to call on Cardiff City defender Oliver Denham, who has been called up to the Wales senior squad for June's Nations League qualifiers and World Cup qualifying play-off final, while clubmate Isaak Davies and Swansea City's Brandon Cooper are also absent.
