David Brooks has returned to the Wales squad, 19 months after being given a cancer diagnosis and only 10 days after making his first Premier League start since his return to action. The Bournemouth fielder has been included in manager Rob Page’s squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Armenia and Turkey.

Wales boss Rob Page wants clarity from Nottingham Forest over Neco Williams’ injury ahead of next month’s Euro 2024 qualifiers. Full-back Williams was ruled out for the rest of the Premier League season after breaking his jaw against Brighton on April 26.

Steve Cooper believes unity within his Nottingham Forest squad earned them their priceless victory over Southampton – and will keep them in the Premier League. The Welsh manager watched his Forest side take a huge step towards safety with a dramatic 4-3 win over Saints, whose impending relegation to the Championship could be confirmed at the weekend.

Wales and Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams says he is ‘gutted’ that he will miss the rest of the season after sustaining a fractured jaw in his side’s 3-1 win over Brighton. Attention will now turn to Wales’ medial staff in hoping to ensure the 22-year-old is fit and available for Wales’ European Championship qualifiers against Armenia and Turkey in June.

Steve Cooper insists Nottingham Forest still have work to do after they moved out of the Premier League relegation zone with a 3-1 win over Brighton. The Welsh manager has boosted his hopes of retaining Forest’s status in the top flight with a huge three points.

Joe Morrell says Wales must be “ruthless and relentless” against Latvia on Tuesday to build on their promising start to Euro 2024 qualification. Wales held World Cup semi-finalists Croatia to a 1-1 draw on Saturday as substitute Nathan Broadhead marked his debut with a dramatic last-gasp equaliser.

Rob Page admits he watched Sky Sports News all summer waiting for the news that never came. “I was watching after the World Cup, waiting for it to be announced that Luka Modric had retired,” says the Wales manager. “But he didn’t retire, so we have to make sure we’re at our very best.”

Chris Mepham believes Wales can cope without the likes of Gareth Bale, Chris Gunter, Joe Allen and Johnny Williams when they usher in ‘a new era’ in Croatia this weekend. The four retirees will be watching from the sidelines as Rob Page’s new look side kick-off their latest European campaign in Zagreb. Latvia – Tuesday’s opponents at the Cardiff City Stadium – Armenia and Turkey complete the Group D line-up, with the top two teams qualifying automatically for the finals in Germany.

Wales boss Rob Page says Brennan Johnson will handle the pressure of being compared to Gareth Bale. The retirement of former skipper Bale – the men’s team’s record goalscorer and most capped player – in January has left Wales with a huge void to fill for the forthcoming Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.

Rob Page’s Wales squad announcement for the upcoming European Championship qualifiers against Croatia and Latvia last week was a landmark moment for Welsh football. The dark hour which had been a subject of dread for an entire sporting generation had actually arrived: Gareth Bale was no longer be available for Wales selection. His contributions in a red shirt – as well as those of fellow national team heroes, Joe Allen and Chris Gunter – have now officially entered the realm of memory.

Aaron Ramsey is focused on joining Wales’ 100-cap club after being appointed skipper a decade after the “hurt” of losing the captaincy. Ramsey has been given the armband ahead of Euro 2024 qualifiers against Croatia and Latvia, replacing Gareth Bale who retired from football in January having won a record 111 caps for the Wales men’s team.

Wales striker Brennan Johnson underlined his rich talent once more with the goal that enabled Nottingham Forest to earn a priceless victory over Leeds United. The 21-year-old scored his seventh goal of the season at the City Ground as Steve Cooper’s side moved further away from the Premier League relegation zone. The Welsh manager insisted his players deserved their victory over free-falling Leeds, even though Forest were not at their best.
