Aaron Ramsey is a surprise inclusion in Wales' 28-man squad to face Finland in the European Championship play-off semi-finals in Cardiff this month.
Wales host Finland on March 21 in a bid to reach their fourth major tournament out of the last five. The winners of the tie will play Poland or Estonia at home in the play-off final on March 26 for the right to play at Euro 2024.
Ramsey's inclusion in Rob Page's squad represents a massive U-turn as the midfielder sustained a calf injury last month shortly after a five-month lay-off with a damaged knee tendon.
Cardiff manager Erol Bulut told Sky Sports last month that the midfielder had 'no chance' - even the FAW said last week Ramsey would not be selected by Page as he couldn't recover in time, so this selection is clearly a risk.
Last weekend, when on co-commentary duty for Sky Sports at Cardiff City Stadium for the Bluebirds' clash with Ipswich, Ramsey revealed he was making good progress with a return to full training in sight.
"It's coming along," said Ramsey.
"Hopefully I'll be back on the grass next week. I'm optimistic and hopefully I'll be back on that pitch as soon as possible."

Who is in the Euro 2024 play-offs?
In Path B, Israel face a semi-final against Iceland while Bosnia and Herzegovina will host Ukraine.
Georgia take on fellow potential tournament debutants Luxembourg in Path C, while Kazakhstan travel to 2004 European champions Greece in the other semi-final of that route.
Page believes Wales have a "great opportunity" to reach Euro 2024 after being handed two possible home ties in the qualification play-offs.
Page was relieved to avoid a rematch with Ukraine, who his side beat in a play-off to qualify for last year's World Cup, and insists Wales fear no-one in Cardiff.
"We tried to forecast the draw beforehand and we weren't too far away," said Page, whose team could also have been paired with Iceland at the last-four stage.
"What's important to us is that home draw in the final - we've got to get the job done (against Finland) first and foremost, of course we have.
"We were probably wanting to avoid Ukraine as well so I think it's gone to plan for us.
"I don't think any team in that group (Ukraine, Finland and Iceland) would have been wanting to play us. I was more nervous for the draw for the home tie for the final.
"The form we're in at the minute and with the 'Red Wall' at home, we'll take anyone on in Cardiff.
"It's a great opportunity for us: we're two wins at home away from another qualification to a major tournament. We're hoping now for two big efforts."
