Bellamy is without striker Kieffer Moore, left-back Ben Davies and centre-back Chris Mepham while Aaron Ramsey was unsurprisingly also left out of the squad.
Ramsey - scorer of 21 goals in 85 caps for his country - is currently unattached having left Mexican outfit Pumas UNAM earlier this season.
It remains to be seen whether or not the 35-year-old will continue his career or not, but Bellamy's announcement means the playmaker will play no role, on the pitch at least, for the Red Dragons this month.
Harry Wilson may or may not be given the captain's armband in the absence of Davies, but what is clear now is that the 28-year-old Fulham star is the one expected to emit main character energy.
Gareth Bale departed three years ago, Ramsey appears to now be part of Wales' past rather than the future, and Davies may not even be fit enough should Wales book their ticket to the finals.

We all know that Wilson - who has been in magnificent form in the Premier League this season - has been Wales' main influence on the field for some time, but now that leadership extends further.
He is the focal point for fans' hopes and expectations, the one opponents will stifle but who will still be expected to deliver and the one punters will pray can stay fit.
The old royalty are dead. Long live King Harry.
But a king cannot do it all alone and he will need some strong and reliable courtiers.
Goalkeeper Danny Ward and winger Rabbi Matondo are included after recovering from their respective injury issues while Leeds United's Dan James and Cardiff City's Rubin Colwill are both fit again after spells on the sidelines of late.
So it's now a case of full steam ahead for Bellamy as the semi-final with Bosnia and Herzegovina at Cardiff City Stadium on March 26 draws ever closer.
The head coach addressed a range of topics at his squad announcement press conference, including Ramsey's omission and speculation surrounding the Football Association of Wales' desire to lure Tottenham Hotspur defender Ashley Phillips - currently on loan at Stoke City - away from England.

But having enjoyed a remarkable night last time out in November as Wales dismantled North Macedonia 7-1 in the Welsh capital to clinch second spot in their qualifying group, Bellamy was under no illusions as to how big a step up their upcoming fixture with the aptly named Dragons (Bosnia and Herzegovina) will be, particularly given he will have just three days of training with his squad prior to the mammoth encounter.
"All of my energy and all of my focus has been on this Bosnia game," he said.
He went on to add: "I'm quite excited about where we are. I believe our identity of how we are is clear, beyond clear. The metric system spikes. It's exactly where I like us.
"It's been nice to look back on stuff we can really improve on. Even look at the North Macedonia game, it was a brilliant game for us, but there's bits as well we need to improve on, especially against a team like Bosnia. It's not like a North Macedonia game.
"Recovery runs, making sure we're there for the second balls, you have to do that against this type of team."
Another key theme from the press conference was Bellamy's aim to ensure Wales have as much quality and depth in their squad to select from in future.
But even in stressing his desire to never need to be reliant on certain individuals further down the line, Bellamy was gushing in his praise of Wilson - the man who has been pivotal under the former striker since he was named as Rob Page's permanent successor in 2024.
"There's still one or two players we can't afford to lose. I'd like us to get out of that situation, but Harry has definitely turned into one of those players," added the head coach.
"You look at our goals and assists, he's played a huge part in that.
"When he hasn't played, you can see the difference. We haven't quite had anyone to move into that.
"I do believe that is a matter of time, but at this present moment, and especially the form he's been in this season, we just hope he's fit and he can bring that onto us, which he has done in every game I've been involved in as a coach."
The collective will once again be key for Wales this month as they look to book their place at this summer's global showpiece.
But a fit and firing Wilson - who has 10 goals and seven assists in 33 appearances across all competitions for Fulham this season - will only enhance Wales' chances of doing the business against Bosnia and Herzegovina and then again versus either Italy or Northern Ireland on home soil.
The fact even a man as hell-bent on stressing the crucial nature of the collective publicly acknowledged Wilson's significance was telling.
The big stage awaits once again, Mr Wilson.
