By Paul Jones There will be no raucous Cardiff City fan welcome for Harry Wilson tonight, but manager Neil Harris believes his team are now fully used to the sound of silence. After a slow start to the season, Cardiff have picked up with a draw at Blackburn and victory at Preston and a win […]

Neil Harris says Cardiff City have established a foothold in the Championship after Sheyi Ojo’s first goal sealed a 1-0 victory at Preston. The victory lifted the Bluebirds up to 12th with seven points from five games – all their points coming away from home.

Jamal Lowe has urged his team-mates not to throw away their good start when Swansea City resume their Championship campaign on Saturday. Fourth-placed Swans resume after the international break by entertaining 19th placed Huddersfield before making the trip next Tuesday to Coventry City who are 18th.

Harry Wilson’s 14-year stay at Liverpool could be over amid reports he bound for Burnley. The Wales flier has been at Anfield since joining the club’s under 9s but a permanent move away finally looks on the cards.

Harry Wilson will take on the burden of Wales’ Euro qualification hopes with the confidence that comes from a Jurgen Klopp thumbs up. Wilson says the Liverpool manager has played a big part in his impressive Bournemouth form by boosting his belief with text messages. The Wales forward is on a season-long loan from Liverpool and scored his fourth goal for the Cherries at Newcastle last weekend.

Harry Wilson insists Wales can produce a huge shock by beating World Cup finalists Croatia tomorrow to put themselves firmly in the hunt for Euro 2020 qualification. The Liverpool striker, currently on loan at Bournemouth, insists Wales have the ability to upset the highly-rated Croatians after Ryan Giggs’ side achieved a battling 1-1 draw in Slovakia on Thursday night. Wales remain three points off second-placed Slovakia but with a game in hand.

Daniel James can carry his brilliant early season Manchester United form into Wales duty on Friday evening, according to his manager Ryan Giggs. James has hit the ground running at Old Trafford since moving for what now looks an under-valued £15m from Swansea City earlier this summer. The 21-year-old winger has already scored three times for United and given the fallen giants exactly the kind of youthful dynamism they were desperate he might provide.

Gareth Bale remains the key man to Wales’ European Championships hopes, according to John Hartson. Former Celtic, Arsenal and Wales striker Hartson insists Wales are still heavily reliant on their ‘main man’ – despite his troubled recent few months in Spain. The 29-year-old Real Madrid star was criticised by some after two lacklustre performances in Wales’ two Euro 2020 qualifying defeats against Croatia and Hungary in June.

Harry Wilson has revealed he was inclined to join Bournemouth because of their reputation for attractive football. The Wales winger has moved from Liverpool on a season-long loan and will help fill the gap left by his Welsh teammate David Brooks, who is facing three months on the sidelines with the Cherries following an ankle operation.

Aaron Ramsey has not recovered to make the Wales squad for the Euro 2020 qualifiers against Croatia and Hungary – but Ethan Ampadu has been included. Both players were expected to be missing when Ryan Giggs named his group for the double header away trip, but Ampadu is in a 28-man squad despite a recent back injury.

Wales youngster Harry Wilson is preparing for the biggest match of his young playing career. The 22-year-old from Wrexham – a former Ysgol Dinas Bran, Llangollen pupil – looks certain to be in Derby County’s starting line-up for their Sky Bet Championship play-off final against Aston Villa at Wembley Stadium on Bank Holiday Monday (3pm). More than 38,000 Rams fans will roar their support for Derby and Wilson says: “The biggest game of my career to date? I’d say so. It’s certainly up there.

Harry Wilson is counting down the days to Wales’ next Euro qualifier and the chance to take centre stage instead of watch from the sidelines. The Derby County star – on loan duty under Frank Lampard from parent club Liverpool – has six Championship matches remaining with the Rams which will determine whether or not their season is extended with play-offs. Either way, Wilson is already looking forward to Wales’ second qualifier out in Croatia on June 8
