Starting in goal at Cardiff City Stadium, Ward won his 33rd cap against a Korean side captained by Tottenham's Son Heung-Min.

The 'keeper was largely untroubled during the match, with Wales going closest when a second-half header from substitute Kieffer Moore rebounded off the post.

Robert Page's side are in EURO qualifying action on Monday when they travel to Riga to take on Latvia.

In Copenhagen, Mads Hermansen was on the bench, former Foxes 'keeper Kasper Schmeichel a starter, as Denmark earned an expected win over San Marino in their latest EURO qualifier.

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Joakim Mæhle and Jonas Wind scored for the home side ahead of the interval, with two further goals ruled out by VAR, before Christian Eriksen netted late on in the team's eventual 4-0 success.

Having won youth international caps, Hermansen continues his wait for a first senior appearance - with a trip to Finland next up for the Danes this Sunday.

On Friday in a 3pm BST kick-off, Cesare Casadei could feature for Italy Under-21s as they travel to Slokas Stadium to face Latvia Under-21s in a UEFA EURO U21 Championships qualifier.

Across the international break we will be following the progress of the Foxes players in action for their countries on LCFC.com and across social media.
