Teenage Leeds United left-back Jayden Lienou has been called up to the senior Wales squad for the first time. The Football Association of Wales announced the selection on Sunday for upcoming friendly matches against Ghana and Romania. Lienou, who turned 18 in April, is a Wales Under-19s international.
He joined Leeds United's academy from Manchester City last year and signed a three-year deal with the club in 2025. Lienou has yet to make a first-team appearance for Leeds. He was an unused substitute in two Premier League matches earlier this month.
The Football Association of Wales did not say whether Lienou was replacing anybody in the squad. Wales host Ghana at Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday with kick-off at 19:45 BST before facing Romania in Bucharest the following Saturday.
