Rob Page has pinpointed Dan James as a symbol of why Wales will go into Tuesday night’s Euro 2024 play-off final against Poland with huge confidence. Wales have not beaten the Poles for over 50 years, but are just one more home victory from making their fourth major tournament finals out of the last five.

Luke Williams admits his wounded Swansea City squad are only too aware of the significance of Saturday’s derby clash with Cardiff City. The Swans sit 15th in the Championship following a drab 1-0 defeat to Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Sunday – a result that leaves the Swans just five points above the relegation zone.

Aaron Ramsey could yet be plunged into a dramatic and red-hot comeback against Swansea City this weekend. The Wales skipper last started a Championship game for Cardiff City in the South Wales Derby in the Welsh capital six months ago, when he helped to end a run of four successive defeats by stroking home a penalty in a 2-0 win.

Wales manager Rob Page insists he will leave it to the last possible moment to decide if Aaron Ramsey will be used against Finland in next week’s crunch Euro 2024 play-off semi-final. Ramsey was named in Wales’ squad on Wednesday, despite not starting a match for six months.

Aaron Ramsey has been included in Wales’ Euro 2024 play-off squad, despite not starting a match for six months. The 84-times capped Wales skipper suffered a knee injury in September and was out until February, making two substitute appearances for Cardiff City before picking up a calf complaint.

Wales captain Aaron Ramsey is set to miss the Euro 2024 play-off against Finland, Cardiff City manager Erol Bulut has revealed. Ramsey made two substitute appearances for Cardiff earlier this month after spending five months out with a knee injury.

Erol Bulut has admitted a total of three goals all season from his main Cardiff City strikers “should be a little more than that.” The Bluebirds manager knows the goal return his team are currently supplying looks more like that of a relegation team, rather than one seeking the promotion play-offs.

Erol Bulut has admitted Cardiff City are paying the price for missed chances after their promotion hopes took another nosedive. The Bluebirds’ 2-0 defeat at West Bromwich Albion leaves them back in 14th spot in the Championship, a distant eight points off the play-off places.

Wales manager Robert Page has admitted he and his analysts have work to do after the draw for the upcoming Nations League. But the Wales boss insisted his team have been handed a good group after being drawn against Iceland, Montenegro and Turkey.

Cardiff City boss Erol Bulut threatened to quit when there were no new signings with a week to go in the January transfer window, but now he admits to being stunned by the uplift in standards when he finally got four players in. The Bluebirds brought in Josh Wilson-Esbrand, Nat Phillips and Famara Diedhiou on loan from Man City, Liverpool and Granada respectively.

Alfie Tuck doesn’t just want to walk the walk on the pitch for Wales, he wants to talk the talk off it, too. The 17-year-old QPR midfielder is taking weekly Welsh lessons in a bid to immerse himself in the nation’s culture.

Aaron Ramsey is on the mend and has taken his first steps back into football after picking up a knee injury in training after the south Wales derby win against Swansea City way back in September. Having already suffered one set-back on his road to recovery, which has meant he has so far missed four months of football and 23 games in all competitions for Cardiff City, the Wales skipper is now hopeful of returning in time for the Euro Championship play-off game against Finland in March.
