Great news for Welsh football fans! Dan James is back in action as he’s named in Wales’ squad for the crucial final World Cup qualifiers! The Leeds United winger, who’s been sidelined with an ankle injury since September, makes his return just in time for the big games.
Manager Craig Bellamy has called up a mostly full-strength squad, giving a nod to Cardiff City’s Rubin Colwill, thanks to his stellar performances. Joining him from Cardiff are Joel Colwill, Ronan Kpakio, and Dylan Lawlor. Unfortunately, Isaak Davies misses out this time around.
Wales is set to face Liechtenstein away next Saturday, followed by a key matchup against North Macedonia in Cardiff. With two wins, Wales can secure at least a World Cup play-off spot, so every goal counts! Remember David Brooks’ heroics with his late equaliser against North Macedonia back in March? That fighting spirit will surely give Wales a boost.
There’s excitement all around with Brennan Johnson netting for Tottenham in the Champions League, Harry Wilson firing goals for Fulham, and Kieffer Moore pulling off a hat-trick for Wrexham against Coventry City. Currently sitting third in Group J, Wales trail Belgium and North Macedonia but have a game in hand. The race for second place is tight, with goal difference playing a crucial role.
Thanks to previous Nations League results, Wales is almost guaranteed a play-off, but climbing to second in the group would be ideal, providing an easier path to the World Cup with a home fixture advantage. The squad is brimming with talent including players like Ben Davies, Chris Mepham, and Neco Williams.
Let’s cheer on our boys as they aim for that World Cup spot! Excited for the matches? Share your thoughts and predictions below! 🔴🟢✨ #TogetherStronger #WalesFootball #RoadToWorldCup
