Craig Bellamy has announced a 27-player squad for the key 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Liechtenstein at the Cardiff City Stadium (Friday 6 June) and Belgium in Brussels (Monday 9 June).
Ethan Ampadu and Harry Wilson return to the squad after missing out on the opening games of the campaign in March due to injury. Craig Bellamy has also called up full-back Ronan Kpakio for the first time after featuring in last week’s training camp in Cardiff and Spain.
Several players come into the international window after a successful end of season at club level, including Europa League winners Ben Davies and Brennan Johnson, as well as Connor Roberts, Karl Darlow, Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu, Daniel James and Chris Mepham who secured promotion to the English Premier League.
