Captain Aaron Ramsey returns Wales squad for England Belgium matches

Wales has recalled captain Aaron Ramsey to the national squad for upcoming matches against England and Belgium, marking his return after a 13-month absence from international football. Ramsey, who recently transferred to Mexican club Pumas UNAM and recovered from hamstring surgery, has regained fitness with several starts and substitute appearances, prompting his selection. The squad also welcomes back key players like Ethan Ampadu, Joe Rodon, Jay Dasilva, and Nathan Broadhead, all returning from injury. Wales currently sits third in their World Cup qualifying group, needing favorable results and victories in their remaining matches to qualify automatically for the 2026 World Cup, with a play-off spot nearly guaranteed. The Wales-England friendly will be held at Wembley, their first meeting there since 2011, followed by a crucial World Cup qualifier against Belgium at Cardiff City Stadium. Manager Craig Bellamy emphasizes assessing players' fitness, particularly Leeds' Daniel James, ahead of these important fixtures.
