Chelsea prodigy Ethan Ampadu trains with the Wales national squad as Chris Coleman's side prepare to face Georgia in crunch World Cup qualifier

Wales hit the training pitch this week ahead of their crunch upcoming World Cup qualifier against Georgia, with a youthful presence in their side.

Highly rated Chelsea youngster Ethan Ampadu has been called up into the squad by boss Chris Coleman, as Wales look to continue their reputation of blooding talented youngsters and giving them a chance, regardless of age.

Ampadu was snapped up by Chelsea after impressing during a Checkatrade trophy clash versus the Blues, and was equalling as eye-catching during his first run-out for the club against Nottingham Forest.
