Craig Bellamy bullish on Wales chances despite Leeds United star adding to raft of injuries…..See more
Bellamy says Wales can cope with a raft of absentees for their World Cup qualifier in Kazakhstan after key defender Joe Rodon joined the list of withdrawals.
Leeds centre-back Rodon played the full 90 minutes of the 0-0 Premier League draw against Newcastle on Saturday but did not make the 3,000-mile trip to Astana due to concussion protocols. Injured pair Ethan Ampadu and Connor Roberts were not included when Bellamy named his squad last week, and skipper Aaron Ramsey was left out to build up fitness at his Mexican club Pumas UNAM after a five-month lay-off following hamstring surgery.
Wrexham duo Danny Ward and Nathan Broadhead and Coventry full-back Jay Dasilva sustained injuries over the weekend, ending with Bellamy calling up Everton goalkeeper Tom King, QPR defender Rhys Norrington-Davies and Cardiff attacking midfielder Joel Colwill.
