Birmingham City and Fulham star receives late international call-up - could face his club teammates

Birmingham City loanee Luke Harris has received a late call-up to the Welsh squad for their upcoming Nations League double header.

Wales, managed by former Premier League cult hero Craig Bellamy, take on Turkey and Iceland over the next week and a half. Harris didn't make the original squad, but a series of injuries has seen the Fulham youngster called up to the main squad. Thankfully Birmingham won’t be affected as their game against Stevenage was called off due to several international call-ups.

Owen Beck, Wes Burns, and Kieffer Moore have all had to withdraw, and they have been replaced by Jay Dasilva, Charlie Savage, and Harris. Harris is yet to make his senior debut for Wales, but has made six caps for the under-21s team.

Jersey-born Harris was an unused substitute on six occasions during Rob Page's reign, but could now find himself earning his first cap. Wales take on Turkey first on Saturday, November 16, before facing Iceland in their final group stage match on Tuesday, November 19.

The clash between Wales and Iceland next week could potentially see Harris come up against his two club teammates. Alfons Sampsted and Willum Willumsson are in the Iceland squad and they're vying with Wales for at least a play-off spot.

Harris has only recently in the last few weeks returned from an ankle injury which kept him sidelined for a couple of months. He got a 66-minute outing against Sutton United in the FA Cup, and was also a substitute in the 1-1 draws with Mansfield Town and Northampton Town.

To date, he has made eight appearances for Blues, scoring the one goal which came in a 3-2 win against title rivals Wycombe Wanderers. He is on a season long loan from Fulham but was prohibited from playing against them in the Carabao Cup and the EFL Trophy.
