Team News: Sam Vokes handed starting role for Wales

Striker Sam Vokes is preferred to Hal Robson-Kanu for Wales's World Cup qualifier with Moldova at the Cardiff City Stadium this evening.

In the build-up to the game, boss Chris Coleman had suggested that one of the team's stars at Euro 2016 may be forced to settle for a place on the bench after he remained a free agent until the final day of the transfer window and he has backed up his comments.

After netting once in three games for Burnley in the Premier League, Vokes gets the nod in attack alongside Gareth Bale.

In midfield, Andy King is drafted into the middle of the park after Aaron Ramsey was ruled out through injury.

Wales: Hennessey, Gunter, Taylor, Davies, Chester, Williams, Allen, King, Ledley, Bale, Vokes

Moldova: Cebanu, Armas, Epureanu, Ionita, Galcan, Cebotaru, Dedov, Ginsari, Cascaval, Cojocari, Jardan
