Manchester United youngster Dylan Levitt has been named in the Wales squad for the crucial World Cup play-off clash later this month.
The 21-year-old has been included in Robert Page’s side for the play-off semi-final against Austria which takes place in seven days time.
The midfielder has missed the last two international camps, but the Dundee United loanee will be delighted to be back in the international setup.
Despite not playing a part in the World Cup qualifying campaign as of yet, Levitt will be ready if called upon by Page, who gave him his Wales Under-19 international debut.
After being a part of last summer’s European Championships, the Manchester United academy graduate will be hoping to help his country qualify for this winter’s World Cup.
Levitt’s inclusion in the Wales squad is testament to the good form he is showing for the Tangerines this season.
Although he has endured frustrating spells on the sidelines due to injury, the influential ball-playing midfielder has become a vital cog in Tam Courts’ Scottish Premiership side.
Since Levitt joined on a season-long loan, the Tannadice Park side have only lost four of the 17 Scottish Premiership matches in which their number 19 has featured, compared to seven of the 11 played without him.
Such has been the impression Levitt has made north of the border this campaign, Courts has tipped the youngster to go the very top of the game.
Speaking to the Courier, Courts has previously said: “Dylan is a quality player.
“He can go to very top. When you see him at close quarters you understand he’s a player with unbelievable technical ability.
“In four or five years time we may look back and realise how lucky we were to see such a gifted player at Dundee United.”
The ten-time Wales international will be hoping to make his 11th international cap next week and stay on track for booking his place in Qatar.
