Aaron Ramsey has pulled out of Wales’ Nations League clash with Bulgaria on Wednesday in the latest blow to Ryan Giggs side. The midfielder only returned for last Sunday’s draw against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin after being in a Juventus COVID-19 ‘bubble’ for the friendly against England last week.
Ryan Giggs says Kieffer Moore must wise up to European referees after being banned from Wales’ Nations League game in Bulgaria. Moore was ruled out of Wednesday’s Group B4 tie in Sofia after picking up his second booking of the competition during the 0-0 draw against the Republic of Ireland on Sunday. The 6ft 5in Cardiff targetman was cautioned by Greek referee Anastasios Sidiropoulos for leading with the arm in an aerial challenge which led to Republic defender Kevin Long being forced off with a badly swollen eye.
Aaron Ramsey is the man who can unlock Ireland’s defence tomorrow, Wales manager Ryan Giggs has claimed. Ramsey is available for Sunday’s Nations League match against the Republic after being part of Juventus’ Covid-19 bubble following an outbreak at the Italian club. Ramsey missed the 3-0 friendly defeat to England at Wembley on Thursday, but Giggs said: “Aaron’s trained all week with Juve and joined up with us in Dublin yesterday.
Ryan Giggs has described Wales’ defending as “soft” as he reflected on the lessons from the 3-0 friendly defeat to England at Wembley. What was meant to be a valuable warm-up for the key Nations League games over the next few days became an exercise in keeping the score down in the second-half against a superior England side. That dominance was only established after Wales had controlled the opening 25 minutes until Dominic Calvert-Lewin put England ahead.
Marlon Pack says striker Kieffer Moore is not just a big lump but still wants his Cardiff City team-mate to bash up opponents. The £2million summer signing opened his Bluebirds account with a double in the 2-0 Championship victory at Nottingham Forest last weekend.
Kieffer Moore insisted there are plenty more goals to come after his double earned Cardiff City their first win of the season at Nottingham Forest. The £2million summer signing from Wigan’s first-half double were his first for the Bluebirds.
Neil Harris faced up to the negatives of Cardiff City’s opening day SkyBet Championship defeat against Sheffield Wednesday and admitted: “We were architects of our own downfall.” Manager Harris and his Bluebirds slumped to a 2-0 home defeat even though they dominated possession for long periods.
Sheyi Ojo says he aims to prove a point after joining Cardiff City on a season-long loan from Liverpool. The 23-year-old versatile forward is the Bluebirds third signing of the summer joining striker Kieffer Moore – who has been on international duty with Wales – and Arsenal loanee Jordi Osei-Tutu.
Kieffer Moore insists Wales have got the winning habit after his goal made it three wins on the bounce for Wales and an unbeaten run of seven matches. The Cardiff City new boy scored the only goal as Wales got their Nations League campaign off to a flying start with a 1-0 win over Finland in Helsinki. It was achieved without Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen and David Brooks – and with Gareth Bale playing for only one half – but with a youthful exuberance that 28-year-old Moore is happy to use as the wind beneath his wings.
Wales international Kieffer Moore has joined Cardiff City from Wigan Athletic for an undisclosed fee. The 6ft 5in striker found the back of the net 10 times this season and scored crucial goals for Wales against Slovakia and Azerbaijan in their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign. It is understood several other clubs were interested in Moore, […]
Kieffer Moore is a man who certainly cannot be accused of resting on his laurels. The Wigan Athletic frontman made a huge impact for Wales during the second half of their successful UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying campaign, netting twice in four games and providing an attacking focal point for Ryan Giggs’ side. Most punters would agree that the 27 year-old’s exploits in a red shirt over the last six months have already secured his place on the plane for this year’s finals, which are scheduled to be held across Europe.
Cardiff City fans have been told they will soon be cheering Kieffer Moore again – even though his two goals slowed the Bluebirds’ promotion push. Moore scored twice for Wigan in their 2-2 draw at the Cardiff City Stadium, where the 6ft 7in Wales striker has yet to find the net for his adopted country. But the player who scored vital away goals for Ryan Giggs’ side on their way to successful qualification for the Euro 2020 finals, will soon have supporters in the capital cheering for him, according to Wigan manager Paul Cook.
