and live on Freeview channel 276
As soon as Wes Burns and Nathan Broadhead were named in the Wales squad for their upcoming fixtures in the international break it felt as though their game at Oakwell could be under threat.
Now, with a third call-up having been confirmed to the Tractor Boys, it has been confirmed that the encounter will have to be rearranged for later in the season - it remains to be seen when that will be.

“Nathan Broadhead and Wes Burns have both been named in Wales’ squad for their upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Croatia and Latvia.
