    Wales Euro 2016 squad announcement

    A two-time Champions League winner in Gareth Bale, a two-time FA Cup winner in Aaron Ramsey and a Premier League winner in Andy King.

    Wales have their fair share of certainties for this summer but there are a few maybes in Chris Coleman's provisional line-up.

    Paul Dummett has been a Premier League regular with Newcastle this season but injuries have limited his opportunities with Wales while injuries and a lack of game-time at club level has hampered Adam Matthews' international aspirations.

    Meanwhile David Vaughan could make the squad. The Nottingham Forest midfielder is a neat defensive midfielder, whose 41 caps make him a useful deputy to the likes of Joe Allen and Joe Ledley.

    Wales Euro 2016 squad announcement

    It's surreal, isn't it? This is not a joke, it's 2016 and Wales will be playing in a major international football tournament.

    If you were here for the World Cup in 1958, things might have changed a little bit, but here we are again. Better late than never!

    Over 21,000 days have passed since Wales reached the quarter final that year and today Chris Coleman picks his final 23-man squad for this summer's European Championships.

    But who will make the cut and play their part in Euro 2016, Wales' first major international bow for 58 years?

    Can Coleman's side go all the way and actually win the tournament, as Gareth Bale says they can?

    Coleman's squad announcement follows in the next hour or so.
