Our key players have had fitness issues for ages and we've dealt with them. I expect both Ramsey & Bale to be fit and raring to go in Qatar.

I really like Johnson, I think he's an excellent player and sometime very soon he'll be a nailed on starter for Wales but there are reasons he isn't at the moment
I don't think we will be starting any of the games with our absolute best team on the pitch, and it will be all about player management. Any team will suffer without a fully fit Bale, Ramsey, Wilson & Brooks, as that is where all our creativity comes from. Johnson is more unpredictable and he is capable of the unexpected even if he is having a quiet game, so he's a starter for me with Neco & Brennan playing down the right. Bale can play more central if he is fit.
