Wales boss Rob Page has said that they will be "sensible" over playing Nottingham Forest's Brennan Johnson during the upcoming international break.
The 21-year-old has been in fantastic form this season for Steve Cooper's side with the Nottingham-born forward having scored seven Premier League goals in 26 appearances during the current campaign.
But the Welsh international suffered a groin problem during the Reds defeat at Tottenham on Saturday with manager Steve Cooper saying they "don't know how bad" his injury is. Concerns over Johnson's fitness have raised doubts over his participation in Wales's upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Croatia and Latvia.

And those injury concerns were put directly to the Wales boss ahead of their international fixtures at the end of the month. Speaking to reporters, Page said: "It's probably the accumulation of a lot of minutes that he's had in a tough demanding league where he has to be 100% all the time.
"I think it's just an accumulation of fatigue. We will be sensible and make sure that he's in the right place for the match day."
