Williams’ call-up means he will miss Gillingham’s Bank Holiday Monday trip to Bury.

The 20-year-old has been with the Gills since mid-February after joining on loan from Fulham.

He has started Gillingham’s last three games, covering for injured Bradley Dack, making four appearances in total.

Williams was part of Wales’ squad for their European championship qualifying campaign, before injury ruled him out of the final crucial matches. He still hopes to win a place in the squad for the finals in France this summer.
