It feels like the start of a new era for Wales, who will get their first taste of life after talisman Gareth Bale, ever-present midfielder Joe Allen and the other recently retired experienced heads this weekend.

Robert Page is looking ahead to the future with a squad packed with fresh faces and bright prospects for the start of their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, which gets under way in Croatia on Saturday.

The absences of Tottenham defender Ben Davies and Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey, who have both withdrawn with injury, means Page really will have to rely on the next generation at Stadion Poljud.

Croatia and Turkey look to be the real threats in Group D, which is also made up of Armenia and Latvia – with two sides set to progress directly to next year's tournament in Germany.

Saturday's hosts are still reliant on aging stars like 37-year-old Luka Modric but as their run to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup shows, that is not necessarily a bad thing in the short term.
