Bellamy bemoans new schedule after Denmark loss

Wales manager Craig Bellamy criticized the new four-match international window following his team's 1-0 Nations League defeat to Denmark at Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday. A 75th-minute penalty from Rasmus Hojlund secured the victory for Denmark, marking Wales' third loss across four matches played within a 10-day span. Bellamy argued that the newly merged schedule is a disadvantage to nations with less squad depth.

Bellamy explained that an injury-hit squad struggled with the physical intensity demanded by the condensed schedule. Key players including Karl Darlow, Joe Rodon, Dylan Lawlor, and Harry Wilson missed the camp, while Dan James remained sidelined on the bench. Despite the loss, Wales moved to third place in Nations League Group A4 based on their head-to-head record against Norway.
