Crystal Palace midfielder Ledley broke his leg on May 7 but has made a remarkable recovery and has been included in Coleman’s squad, as has Robson-Kanu, who has an Achilles injury.

Wales kick off their Euro 2016 Group B campaign against Slovakia on Saturday before meeting England and Russian Federation, while Sweden will contest Group E against Ireland, Italy and Belgium.
But should Vardy leave it might increase speculation that other Leicester players, among them Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kante, could see their own futures elsewhere.
But Wales manager Chris Coleman insisted that having a lone warm-up fixture was a deliberate policy given he had also had squad in for a five-day training camp in Portugal ahead of their trip to Stockholm.
While the Welsh manager said it would be “reckless” to start with the trio of players who were not fully fit, he said he would be happy to bring them on from the bench.
“They play good football and they’re very similar to the team we played today in certain elements”.
Wales open their campaign – their first match at a first major tournament for 58 years – in Bordeaux after losing three and drawing one of their four friendlies since securing Euro 2016 qualification in October.
Coleman will be desperate to have his best possible side available for Saturday’s contest, with Slovakia already proving a risky proposition, having claimed an impressive 3-1 friendly win over World Cup holders Germany on May 29th.
“It’s a good win because Wales are a good team and I think they will do well at Euro 2016”, said Hamren.
“Coming into Dinard has been great and cheered us up a bit after Sweden because we were disappointed, even though we got what we wanted from the match”, Coleman said.
Slovakia head coach Jan Kozak may be excited about a meeting with Wales’ Gareth Bale next weekend, but the Real Madrid fan joked it will be the forward asking him for an autograph after their Euro 2016 opener.
“In a way it’s good because it’s given us a kick up the backside”.
Group B is considered as one of the toughest groups, if not the toughest, in the said tournament as it also includes world no. 11 England and world no. 29 Russian Federation.
“We know we have to improve on that, but we are confident we are capable of doing that”. We knew it would be a tough test.

“Every one of us want to be on that pitch next week in Paris for the game against Ireland”. Some of our players play Championship football, some lower, and they won’t be used to it.
