ROB EARNSHAW reckons Harry Wilson is undroppable for Wales.
The Fulham star, 26, has been a key man for Robert Page’s Dragons ahead of tonight’s Euro 2024 play-off semi-final with Finland.
Wilson scored twice on his 50th cap to down Croatia last October.
And, with Page having a selection headache over his front line with Kieffer Moore, Dan James, Brennan Johnson and David Brooks all in contention, ex-Wales striker Earnshaw is adamant Wilson must start.
Earnshaw, who won 59 caps for his country, said: “Harry has to play.
“Over the last year and a half he has been the one key player. Never mind the Croatia game.

“He brings creativity in terms of assists and little passes.
“That performance against Croatia showed exactly what he is capable of. The stage is set for him. I’d play Harry over Dan James.”
Earnshaw, 42, reckons ex-Liverpool ace Wilson should start alongside Ipswich hitman Moore and Tottenham’s Johnson in attack as Wales bid to reach next Tuesday’s final.
The ex-Nottingham Forest and Cardiff forward added: “It’s a tough but nice decision for Rob.

“He has quality and whoever he leaves out will be class off the bench.
“Kieffer has to play. He’s in good form. He’s playing well for Ipswich and he’s done well for Wales.”
Victory for Wales tonight would set up a final against either Poland or Estonia in Cardiff.
He said: “I’m confident. It’s a must win and a cup final mentality for Wales.
“They are capable of doing it. I like the fact two games are in Cardiff.
“It’s a big thing for Wales. The Welsh crowd and noise gives so much to the team.”
