Wales football team is facing a major setback as they gear up for World Cup qualifiers against Liechtenstein and North Macedonia next week. Three key players—Ben Davies, Ben Cabango, and Kieffer Moore—have been forced to withdraw due to injuries. Stepping up to the plate is Cardiff City’s rising star Isaak Davies, who joins the squad alongside QPR’s Rhys Norrington-Davies, marking Isaak’s big chance for his first senior cap!
Ben Davies was being closely monitored due to a nagging hamstring injury from last month, while Moore was injured in a recent match between Wrexham and Charlton. Cabango, too, is carrying an injury after a tough loss with Swansea. Their absence leaves a leadership gap, especially as Aaron Ramsey is also sidelined, wrestling with his own injury amid personal challenges. Ramsey will still play a crucial behind-the-scenes role, shadowing Craig Bellamy’s coaching staff and prepping for a potential future as a manager.
Ramsey, who’s on his way to obtaining his Pro Licence, recently left Pumas UNAM and is dealing with the loss of his dog Halo. Bellamy expressed his empathy for Ramsey’s situation, recognising the emotional toll it takes: “Anyone who’s had dogs knows it’s devastating. Some things are more important than football.”
Looking ahead, Wales will face Liechtenstein in Vaduz on November 15th, then return to Cardiff to confront North Macedonia the following Tuesday. This could be a defining moment for new faces like Isaak Davies, as fans rally behind the team through these challenges. Let’s show our support as they push forward! 🏴⚽️
