Wales coach Page delighted to have Bournemouth midfielder Brooks back

Wales coach Robert Page is delighted to have Bournemouth midfielder David Brooks back in the squad.

Brooks, 25, linked up with the Dragons on Thursday for the first time since his cancer recovery.

Page said: "It will be an emotional camp but in a positive way. We are meeting with the players in Portugal.

"He will be welcomed back in and then we get on with work as usual. We won't dwell on it too much."

Page added: "He's a big character in the dressing room. They are a tight-knit group.

"On the first day he comes into camp there's no doubt the players will have a moment together themselves."
