Wales manager Rob Page has actually invited Brennan Johnson getting a late-season breather at Nottingham Forest ahead of Euro 2024 certifying responsibility.
Johnson has actually made over 50 looks for the 3rd succeeding season, including in each of Forest's 38 Premier League video games as Steve Cooper's side protected their top-flight status.
The 22-year-old forward appeared jaded in the closing weeks of the project and was dropped to the bench for 2 of Forest's last 3 video games.
“You need to handle the pressure on your gamers and it's most likely not the worst thing that he's discovered himself out of the group for the last couple of video games,” Page stated ahead of Wales' Euro 2024 house qualifier versus Armenia on Friday.
“Because he scored many objectives, and due to the fact that he is a consistent risk– among the very best counter-attacking footballers in the Premier League– he set a precedent.
“But you can get a level of disparity of efficiency with your gamers and it definitely will not have actually hurt him in any method to have actually missed out on a couple of video games at Forest.
“He needs to handle that when he gets a little dip in type.”
Johnson scored 8 objectives in his very first Premier League project and is a crucial gamer for Wales following Gareth Bale's retirement in January.
He missed out on the start of the certifying project in March through injury and was the topic of a club-versus-country row, with Page recommending Forest had actually refrained from doing enough to get Johnson suitable for worldwide task.
Next stop … Caerdydd
