Wales announce squad for November international break; Tottenham duo Ben Davies & Brennan Johnson included

The Dragons will face Turkey and Iceland in UEFA Nations League games.

Despite missing the initial four international matches of this season due to injury, Daniel James is included in Craig Bellamy’s Wales team for the first time.

This month’s final UEFA Nations League matches against Turkey and Iceland will have a 26-man roster. It includes the 26-year-old Leeds United winger and the in-form Cardiff City midfielder Rubin Colwill.

Wales could be on track to secure qualification from League B in their last match in Cardiff three days later if they defeat the Group B4 leaders in Kayseri on Saturday, November 16. The team is undefeated in their last four games under Bellamy.

Aaron Ramsey is still out after suffering a hamstring injury during Wales’ 2-1 victory in Montenegro at the beginning of September.

Joe Allen, who returned from international retirement as a second-half replacement at Cardiff City Stadium last month, keeps his spot amidst the injury absences of Ollie Cooper of Swansea City and Ethan Ampadu of Leeds.

Bellamy additionally made a single adjustment to his goalkeeping alternatives, replacing Sheffield United’s Adam Davies with Tom King of Wolverhampton Wanderers as a backup.

James’ hamstring injury kept him out of Wales’ Nations League matches against Montenegro and Turkey in September, as well as their homecoming match against Montenegro last month and their trip to Iceland.

He returned to Leeds on October 18 and started the EFL Championship team’s last two games. Last Saturday, he scored in the team’s 3-0 victory over Plymouth.

Joe Rodon, James’ Leeds teammate, will receive his 50th Wales cap if the defender participates in both matches this month.

Colwill was called up to the senior squad because of his great performance during Cardiff’s comeback this season under interim manager Omer Riza.
