Wales call up teenage Leeds left-back Lienou

Teenage Leeds United left-back Jayden Lienou has been called up to the senior Wales squad for the first time for friendly matches against Ghana and Romania.

The Wales Under-19s international, who turned 18 in April, joined Leeds' academy from Manchester City last year.

Lienou has yet to make a first-team appearance for Leeds, but 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 when it announced his call-up on Sunday.

Wales host Ghana at Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday, before facing Romania in Bucharest the following Saturday.
