Wales manager Ryan Giggs has named a 26-player squad for a training camp in Portugal ahead of next month’s Euro 2020 qualifying round matches against Croatia and Hungary.

Giggs has selected a strong squad for the camp including Gareth Bale, Joe Allen, David Brooks and Dan James. Ben Davies and Ben Woodburn will be unavailable due to Tottenham Hotspur’s and Liverpool’s involvement in this year’s UEFA Champions League final while Harry Wilson, Tom Lawrence and Neil Taylor will be taking part in the EFL Championship play-off final. Other notable absentees include Aaron Ramsey and Ethan Ampadu through injury.

Meanwhile, seven new players have been called up for their first experience of the senior team. Owen Evans, Dylan Levitt and Nathan Broadhead will be travelling to Portugal after playing for the Wales intermediate teams over the last twelve months.

The training camp will be taking place in the Algarve region between 22-28 of May. The side last visited Portugal for a training camp in 2017. Giggs will then be announcing his squad for the Croatia and Hungary matches on Wednesday 29 May at the Urdd Eisteddfod in Cardiff.

Carfan wedi’i chyhoeddi ar gyfer camp ymarfer yn Portiwgal

Mae rheolwr Cymru Ryan Giggs wedi enwi carfan o 26 chwaraewr ar gyfer camp ymarfer yn Portiwgal wythnos hyn fel rhan o’r paratoadau cyn gemau rhagbrofol yn erbyn Croatia a Hwngari mis nesaf.

Bydd nifer o’r chwaraewyr o’r fuddugoliaeth yn erbyn Slofacia ym mis Mawrth yn y garfan, yn cynnwys Gareth Bale, Joe Allen, David Brooks a Dan James. Ni fydd Ben Davies na Ben Woodburn ar gael oherwydd rownd derfynol Cynghrair y Pencampwyr UEFA a bydd Harry Wilson, Tom Lawrence a Neil Taylor yn colli allan oherwydd y gêm ail-gyfle rhwng Derby ac Aston Villa. Yn ogystal â hynny, fydd Aaron Ramsey ac Ethan Ampadu yn colli allan oherwydd anafiadau.

Mae Giggs wedi pigo saith chwaraewr newydd am y garfan. Fydd Owen Evans, Dylan Levitt a Nathan Broadhead yn teithio i Bortiwgal ar ôl sefyll allan yng ngharfannau canolradd Cymru dros y 12 mis diwethaf.

Ar ôl y camp rhwng 22-28 o Fai yn yr Algarve bydd Giggs yn cyhoeddi’r garfan i wynebu Croatia a Portiwgal ar Ddydd Mercher 29 o Fai yn Eisteddfod yr Urdd yng Nghaerdydd.
