    Football

    Wales name their Euro 2016 squad at 14:30 BST today. The major talking point seems to be around Crystal Palace midfielder Joe Ledley.

    Ledley, 29, has resumed light training after breaking his leg on 7 May.

    Wales begin their campaign against Slovakia on 11 June, before facing England five days later.

    "If Joe could guarantee he could be fit to face England, I would take the gamble," former Wales striker Iwan Roberts told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
