CARDIFF TEEN'S SURPRISE SELECTION FOR WELSH SQUAD
-
CARDIFF defender Ronan Kpakio has received a shock Wales call-up after making just one league start for the Bluebirds.
The right-back - who only turned 18 on Sunday and has captained Wales several times at youth level - has been named in Craig Bellamy’s 27-strong squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Liechtenstein and Belgium.
Kpakio signed his first professional contract last July and made his Cardiff debut in the Carabao Cup a month later.
His first Sky Bet Championship appearance came as a second-half substitute against Sheffield United in December, but he missed several months of the season after having leg surgery in January.
He made his full league debut for Cardiff at Norwich on the final day of the campaign.
