Wales will be without Ethan Ampadu and Chris Mepham for their Nations League game against the Republic of Ireland.

Ampadu, 18, was replaced 50 minutes into Wales' 4-1 friendly defeat by Spain with a knee injury which has ruled him out of Tuesday's game.

Mepham, 20, missed the defeat by Spain in the hope he would be fit to face the Republic, but he has returned to Brentford and will not feature.

Uncapped duo Gwion Edwards and Kieron Freeman have been called up.
