Joe Ledley has been included in Wales' 23-man squad for the upcoming European Championship in France.
Ledley had been a major doubt for the tournament after fracturing his fibula while playing for Crystal Palace against Stoke on May 7.
However, the 29 year-old midfielder has since made a remarkable recovery to prove his fitness to Wales manager Chris Coleman.
"Joe Ledley looks very, very good," said Coleman at Tuesday's squad announcement. "He trained on the grass, albeit with the medical team, in Portugal and looked very good.
"His intent is incredible at the minute. Like anybody would, he wants to be a part of it. He's played a huge part in the campaign - he's a big part of this team."
Ledley joins Joe Allen in the Wales squad, and Coleman expects the Liverpool midfielder to shake off a slight knock picked up during the five-day training camp in Vale Do Lobo.
"Joe Allen had a little knock in training and at the minute we're not in the position where we need to rush or gamble, so we're taking our time with Joe," said the Wales manager.
"We expect him to be okay, he'll be working with the medical team but he'll be back on the grass pretty soon. So both players are at different stages but we're looking at both players positively."
Meanwhile, Cardiff City forward Tom Lawrence has been ruled out of the tournament after damaging his ankle ligaments during the training camp in Portugal.
Other players that failed the make the final 23-man squad include Newcastle defender Paul Dummett, Sunderland full-back Adam Matthews, Wigan midfielder Emyr Huws and Preston goalkeeper Chris Maxwell.
"Gutted not to be involved in the squad," Matthews posted on Twitter. "But wishing the boys all the best and will be watching all summer #Euro2016 #TogetherStronger."
Wales face Sweden in their final warm-up match for the tournament on June 4 before playing Slovakia in their opening Group B game in Bordeaux on June 11.
Coleman's side then face rivals England in Lens on June 15 before completing their group stage fixtures against Russia in Toulouse on June 20.
