Bellamy on Cymru’s UEFA Nations League opportunity

Cymru head coach Craig Bellamy has named his squad for the final two UEFA Nations League fixtures against Norway and Portugal, highlighting the major opportunities ahead. Senior figures Harry Wilson, Joe Rodon, and Karl Darlow return to the team, while 20-year-old goalkeeper Joe Duncan earned his first senior call-up. Bellamy stressed that finishing third in Group A4 would secure Cymru a historic place in Pot 1 for future European Championship qualifying.

Cymru currently sit third in Group A4 and face Norway away on November 14 before hosting Portugal on November 17 in Cardiff. Midfielder Jordan James is unavailable due to an injury sustained with Wolverhampton Wanderers, and defender Ben Cabango is suspended for the first game. Bellamy also praised Liverpool forward Lewis Koumas for his intensity and development ahead of the decisive fixtures.
