Chris Coleman has wasted no time in bringing Aaron Ramsey back into his Wales squad – but suggested it remains only a remote possibility that Ched Evans could ever return. Coleman included Ramsey – as well as fit again Joe Allen and Jonny Williams – in the group named to face Serbia in next week’s World Cup qualifier. Ramsey played 75 minutes of Arsen

Gareth Bale can see himself finishing his career at Real Madrid after signing a new long-term contract with the Spanish giants. The Wales international put pen to paper on Monday on a deal which ties him to Real until June 30, 2022, which expires just before he turns 33.

Joe Allen has revealed how leaving Liverpool has revitalised his career. The Wales midfielder was one of the key figures in his country’s surge to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 and maintained that form during the opening World Cup qualifiers this season.

Neil Taylor is backing Bob Bradley to make a big impact at Swansea City as he eyes a return to the team. The left-back fell out of favour under former manager Francesco Guidolin starting just one Premier League game this season.

Chris Coleman described Wales’ failure to beat Georgia as “a blip” but has conceded it changes the nature of their next World Cup qualifier at home to Serbia. The 1-1 draw with the Georgians on Sunday night has left Wales in third place in Group D – two points adrift of both the Serbia and the Republic of Ireland.

Chis Coleman praised his team for their fighting spirit and Gareth Bale pointed to their maturity after Wales came away from Vienna with a valuable point in their World Cup qualifying campaign. The Wales manager admitted his side were not at their best in the 2-2 draw against Austria, who twice came from behind and threatened to claim victory.

Next week will be a crucial one for Wales as they travel to Austria on October 6th before facing Georgia at the Cardiff City Stadium on October 9 in World Cup qualifiers. Dai Sport columnist Ross Tyson looks ahead. It is only games two and three of a two-year qualifying campaign, but in what is expected to be a hotly contested group also featuring the Republic of Ireland and Serbia, these games carry significant importance.

Aaron Ramsey will again be absent when Wales continue their 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign against Austria and Georgia next week. The Arsenal midfielder has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury during his club’s opening Premier League game last month.

Aaron Ramsey is expected to be missing from the list when Wales manager Chris Coleman names his latest squad on Thursday. The Arsenal midfielder has not played since the opening week of the season because of a hamstring strain.

It’s always unpredictable, that first drink sipped by a hungover vessel. Last night, however, the Brains in Cardiff went down rather comfortably after the summer of Beaujolais. Wales delivered a sobering 4-0 win to kick-off their qualifying campaign for the 2018 Russian World Cup. Despite huge turnstile queues, some fans did manage to make it in before the start. Their reward, though, was to be subjected to a damp squib in the opening 30 minutes. In fact, the crowd’s loudest moments in the opening half hour were as a result of a few robust challenges from the visitors and when singing James Chester’s name to the tune of Ghostbusters. The Barry Horns were in fine form throughout the game.

Gareth Bale is poised to soon become Wales’ greatest goalscorer – but that is not what impresses Chris Coleman most about his country’s talisman. Coleman watched Bale score twice in Monday night’s 4-0 win over Moldova that gave Wales a rock solid start to their World Cup qualifying campaign.

Ashley Williams believes Ronald Koeman can propel him into a new phase of his career – for both club and country. The Wales captain will lead his side out against Moldova at Cardiff City Stadium on Monday night for their opening 2018 World Cup qualifier, just eight weeks after leaving the field against Portugal in the semi-finals of Euro 2016.
