Sam Vokes hopes to make the most of this week's "massive" Euro 2016 qualifier against Israel having returned to the Wales squad after a year out.

Burnley striker Sam Vokes has insisted that he and his Wales teammates are determined to get maximum points in Saturday's "massive" Euro 2016 qualifier against Israel.

Chris Coleman's side are currently just one point behind Group B leaders Israel ahead of the clash in Haifa.

Vokes is expected to play a part after being named in the squad for the first time since March last year due to a knee injury.

"It's a massive game for us because of the way the group is at the minute," Vokes told Burnley's official website. "The so-called bigger teams like Bosnia and Belgium have dropped points and it's a chance to take advantage of that.

"To go out to Israel and get some points on the board would be massive for the group. It's great to play alongside players like [Gareth] Bale and it would be great to get a start for Wales because obviously it's another target I was working towards throughout the injury."

Wales are unbeaten in the group having won two and drawn two so far.
