Exciting news for Welsh football as Cardiff City’s Ronan Kpakio and Dylan Lawlor get their big break with a call-up to Craig Bellamy’s national squad for the clashes with Kazakhstan and Canada! It’s an especially proud moment for these uncapped Bluebirds, joining the squad as Wales continues its promising run in Group J. However, it’s another tough miss for Rubin Colwill, who yet again finds himself out of the roster despite his impressive early season form.
In some surprises, seasoned favourites Ethan Ampadu and Connor Roberts are absent due to injuries, and despite making a debut with Pumas UNAM, captain Aaron Ramsey also misses out. Nottingham Forest’s promising Neco Williams makes his return, and newcomer Kai Andrews from Coventry City gets his first nod since missing the last camp.
This squad brings a nostalgic touch, with Wrexham finally represented again since 2010, thanks to summer signings Danny Ward, Kieffer Moore, and Nathan Broadhead. Swansea City’s got its flair in the mix too, with Liam Cullen and Ben Cabango stepping up.
Anticipation builds as Wales travels to Astana next Thursday aiming to strengthen their position in the group. Meanwhile, the friendly against Canada set for September 9 heralds a long-awaited return to Swansea, marking the men’s national team’s first play at the Swansea.com Stadium with a cheering crowd since 2013.
Get ready to support our boys and see who will shine on the international stage as Wales charges on with momentum! 🏴🌈⚽
Here’s the squad in full: Karl Darlow, Adam Davies, Danny Ward, Ben Cabango, Jay Dasilva, Ben Davies, Ronan Kpakio, Dylan Lawlor, Chris Mepham, Joe Rodon, Neco Williams, Kai Andrews, David Brooks, Charlie Crew, Jordan James, Josh Sheehan, Sorba Thomas, Harry Wilson, Nathan Broadhead, Liam Cullen, Mark Harris, Lewis Koumas, Daniel James, Brennan Johnson, Kieffer Moore.
