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.
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.
Rob Page insists Wales can still reach Euro 2024 by drawing on their successful World Cup play-off history. Page’s team were consigned to the Euro play-offs in March after a controversial 1-1 draw with Turkey in Cardiff.
Wales’ players have been told to forget about the back door and knock down the front. Manager Rob Page has insisted there is no talk within his squad of play-offs as they head into their final Euro qualifying pool match against Turkey in Cardiff on Tuesday night.
Rob Page hopes the presence of Aaron Ramsey can help Wales realise their Euro 2024 dream after the injured captain joined them on their long trek to Armenia. Midfielder Ramsey has not played since mid-September after damaging a knee tendon, missing last month’s stunning victory over World Cup semi-finalists Croatia that has left automatic qualification in Wales’ own hands entering the final two games.
Life after Gareth Bale initially appeared bleak for Wales, but Rob Page’s men have the chance of a third consecutive appearance at the European Championship in their own hands after a remarkable turnaround in Euro 2024 qualifying. Page’s job was reportedly in danger after a damaging 4-2 home defeat to Armenia was followed by a 2-0 loss away to Turkey in June.
Harry Wilson admits the onus was on him to step out of Gareth Bale’s shadow and keep Wales on track for major tournaments. Boss Rob Page revealed recently he spoke to Wilson last summer and told him he was no longer simply a squad member and that he is a “big player” for Wales.
Ben Davies insists Wales are determined to prove the doubters wrong by making Euro 2024 and reaching a fourth major tournament in five attempts. Wales are preparing for decisive Euro 2024 ties against Armenia and Turkey knowing qualification for next summer’s finals is in their own hands.
Rob Page says he has cleared the air with Football Association of Wales chief Noel Mooney after their public spat last month. Mooney put Page’s future in the spotlight four days before the Euro 2024 qualifier against Croatia by saying the manager’s position would be reviewed if Wales did not qualify for Euro 2024 automatically.
Wales’ two-goal hero Harry Wilson has repeated the claims of his captain and teammate Ben Davies that comments from FAW chief Noel Mooney were “not helpful” prior to their stunning Euro 2024 victory over Croatia. Wilson celebrated his 50th cap with a brilliant double as Wales boosted their Euro 2024 automatic qualification hopes with a 2-1 win in Cardiff.
Wales captain Ben Davies has told the boss of the Football Association of Wales to zip it over the future of manager Rob Page. Davies and his squad are fuming that Football Association of Wales chief executive Noel Mooney has undermined Page on the eve of their crunch Euro 2024 qualifier at home to Croatia on Sunday night. Tottenham defender Davies had wanted all the focus to be on how Wales were going to beat the Croatians for the first time in seven attempts to keep alive their hopes of automatic qualification for the finals in Germany.
Ben Davies has urged Wales to summon up the spirit of reaching the World Cup to beat Croatia and keep their European Championship qualification hopes alive. Turkey’s shock win in Croatia on Thursday night damaged Welsh prospects of claiming a top-two place in Group D.
