Wales manager Chris Coleman has welcomed Antonio Conte's comments about Ethan Ampadu after Jurgen Klopp suggested Ben Woodburn was not ready for international football.
Coleman has named 17-year-old prospects Ampadu and Woodburn in his squad for the crunch 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and the Republic of Ireland.
Chelsea manager Conte said earlier this month the Premier League champions were 'proud' of Ampadu being selected by Wales, and rejected the notion that an international call placed extra pressure on someone so young.
Those remarks were in contrast to those of Liverpool boss Klopp who questioned whether Woodburn was ready for international duty.
