Rangers winger Rabbi Matondo has been added to the Wales squad after initially being left-out by manager Rob Page.

The 22-year-old has burst back on to the scene at the Ibrox club in recent weeks after being mostly a bit-part player last season.

After initially being omitted from the Rangers European squad he was called up after impressing in the League Cup against Greenock Morton.

He went on to score in the 2-2 draw with PSV Eindhoven at Ibrox before being handed a start for the second-leg defeat in the Netherlands.

The former Schalke player won the last of 11 international caps in 2022 but has now found himself back in contention for his club and country.

Wales welcome South Korea to Cardiff for a September 7 friendly before heading to Latvia for a crucial 2024 Euro qualifier four days later.

Before that Matondo will hoping to be involved in the first Old Firm game of the season that is being played at Ibrox on Sunday.
