Aaron Ramsey has been ruled out of Wales’ three remaining European Championship qualifying matches after Cardiff City confirmed his absence would be measured in months rather than weeks. The 32-year-old Wales captain hasn’t played since twisting his knee in a freak training incident last month. Wales boss Rob Page had resigned himself to being without his skipper for next week’s key clash with Croatia in Cardiff, but now he will have to count him out of the final group games against Turkey and Armenia.
Rob Page has described the loss of “big players” Aaron Ramsey and Brennan Johnson for Wales’ vital Euro 2024 qualifier with Croatia as a “blow. But the Wales manager is confident the pair will be fit for final group games in November. Skipper Ramsey misses out with a knee tendon problem that has forced him to miss Cardiff’s last five games, while Tottenham’s new £47.5million forward Johnson is sidelined by a hamstring injury sustained in the north London derby draw at Arsenal.
Wales will be without star striker Brennan Johnson for their crunch Euro 2024 qualifier against Croatia as well as Aaron Ramsey. Skipper Ramsey had already been declared unfit because of a knee injury a fortnight ago by his Cardiff City manager Erol Bulut, but Wales boss Rob Page had hoped Johnson would make it.
Erol Bulut claimed tiredness was a factor in Cardiff City losing their unbeaten streak with a 2-0 defeat at Middlesbrough. The Bluebirds conceded two second-half goals to slide out of the Championship play-off places as their four-game winning sequence came to an abrupt end
Joe Ralls still remembers the tension surrounding the last time Cardiff City played Rotherham. Back in April the Bluebirds were battling against relegation and headed to The New York Stadium for a must win game against a fellow basement team.
Wales captain Aaron Ramsey is to seek specialist advice after suffering a knee injury in training which looks set to rule him out of their upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers. The 32-year-old said on Instagram he was “absolutely gutted” after suffering the injury only months after returning to lead his boyhood club Cardiff City, having started six of their eight Championship games and scored three goals.
Erol Bulut insists his Cardiff City “machine” can keep pumping out the results whether or not Aaron Ramsey is fit to play at Sunderland on Sunday. The Bluebirds have won back-to-back victories for the first time since February and aim to make it three wins on the bounce when they head to the North-East.
Erol Bulut insists Cardiff City have proved they can cope when they are without Aaron Ramsey. The Bluebirds manager watched his team overcome Coventry City, 3-2, at home on Tuesday night, despite being without their talismanic captain.
Erol Bulut has revealed he had heard a lot about Ollie Tanner – and most of it was bad. A good job, then, that the Cardiff City manager decided his own eyes could provide the best evidence when sizing up the club’s 21-year-old winger.
Joe Allen has told his Swansea City teammates they have to improve if they are to have any hope of keeping their arm lock on rivals Cardiff City this weekend. The former Wales midfielder will be part of a Swans team looking for a fifth successive derby victory over the Bluebirds when they visit the capital on Saturday night.
Jordan James described playing for Wales at the age of 19 as “unbelievable” as he reflected on a Riga performance that left his watching grandparents in tears. Birmingham City midfielder James made his first competitive Wales start on Monday as Rob Page’s side revived Euro 2024 qualifying ambitions with a 2-0 victory over Latvia.
David Brooks paid tribute to the fans who supported him after he scored his first goal for Wales since recovering from his cancer diagnosis. The Bournemouth star struck the second goal in Wales’ vital 2-0 victory in Latvia on Monday night which has kept alive their hopes of qualification for Euro 2024.
