New Leicester City signing Dai Cornell has received a late international call-up.
The 35-year-old will link up with Wales in the wake of Manchester United’s Karl Darlow pulling out of the squad.
Wales face Portugal in a Nations League opener in Lisbon on Thursday before they tackle Denmark in Copenhagen on Sunday.
They then play Norway in Cardiff on Thursday, October 1, before Denmark visit the Welsh capital on Sunday, October 4.
Goalkeeper Cornell joined the Foxes as a free agent on a one-year deal last week.

“I'm delighted to sign and excited to be here,” he said.
“It’s a fantastic football club with a fantastic manager. I’m looking forward to getting started and helping in any way I can.
“Hopefully, together, as players, staff and fans, we can achieve what we want to achieve this season.”
Cornell was a free agent after leaving Preston North End earlier this summer, following four years at Deepdale.
He is the third goalkeeper signing made by City boss Russell Martin, following the arrivals of Alex McCarthy and Franco Ravizzoli.
Martin made another move in the transfer market in the wake of Jakub Stolarczyk suffering a serious knee injury that will rule him out for the rest of the season.
