Wales online suggest the following four possibilities to partner Nelson:
Firstly, and perhaps the one which fits most naturally, is Greg Cunningham. The Republic of Ireland international, who is more at home at left back, has played there many times before and could slot straight in.
He has found game time hard to come by this season, though, owing to a hamstring injury, the latest in a long line of injury troubles over the past 12 months for the defender. However, if match fit, this could be an opportunity for him to shine.
The two other left backs, Joe Bennett and Joel Bagan, are also in consideration to fill that berth.
While Bagan perhaps offers a height advantage at 6ft 3ins, Bennett has more experience of senior football, a quality which cannot be underestimated at centre back.
Lastly, however, there is Will Vaulks.
