Brooks called up to Wales squad for first time since cancer diagnosis

David Brooks has been called up to the Wales squad for Euro 2024 qualifiers against Armenia and Turkey for the first time since getting the all clear following his diagnosis with blood cancer.

Bournemouth's attacking midfielder Brooks, who was diagnosed with stage two Hodgkin Lymphoma, made his return to club football in March of this year after getting the all clear from cancer 12 months ago.

It is the 23-year-old's first international call-up since October 2021, the same month in which he was diagnosed with the illness.

Brooks has made six appearances for Bournemouth since his return, including hour-long outings in the Cherries' last two matches of the season.

Elsewhere in the Wales squad, captain Aaron Ramsey is included and there are returns for Brennan Johnson and Ben Davies, who were left out of the March squad with injuries.

Neco Williams has also been called up after picking up a season-ending jaw injury for Nottingham Forest last month.
