Serious business resumes for Wales boss Bellamy

Wales manager Craig Bellamy will lead his team against Portugal at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in their UEFA Nations League Group A4 opener on Thursday, September 24. This marks Bellamy's first match in charge since affirming his commitment to the national team amid summer managerial interest from Burnley.

Wales enter the campaign with several player absences, as Harry Wilson, Karl Darlow, Joe Rodon, Dylan Lawlor, and Nathan Broadhead are unavailable due to injury. Despite the Burnley speculation, captain Ben Davies and Football Association of Wales chief executive Noel Mooney both expressed strong support for Bellamy remaining in his position.
