Tom Bradshaw replaces injured Simon Church in Wales squad

Tom Bradshaw has been called into the Wales squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Austria and Georgia after Simon Church was ruled out by a hip injury.

Bradshaw, 24, has won one cap to date, as a second-half substitute in a 1-0 friendly defeat away to Ukraine in March.

The Barnsley striker was part of Wales' pre-Euro 2016 training camp in Portugal but failed to make the 23-man squad for France.

Church last played for his Dutch club Roda JC in their 5-0 Eredivisie defeat to Feyenoord on Sept. 25 and has failed to recover in time for Thursday's trip to Austria and the home game with Georgia on Sunday.

There was better news for Wales with Joe Allen taking part in Tuesday's training session after the midfielder reported no reaction to a hamstring problem.

Allen had a tight hamstring before Stoke's visit to Manchester United on Sunday, but he played a full 90 minutes at Old Trafford and scored in the 1-1 draw.
