Nelson is only in the squad because Quim is banned for nandrolone use, but he does not lack top-level experience.

Earned his first call-up in March, coming on at half-time in the 4-1 friendly defeat by Finland. Of the four, he only let in one.
He is unlikely to feature if his fellow keepers steer stay fit, but he is a reliable option if needed.
