Wales news

Harry Kane has reportedly missed training ahead of England's friendly clash with Wales as he struggles with an ankle injury. The Three Lions captain picked up the knock during Bayern Munich’s 3-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend. Now his participation against Wales has been thrown into uncertainty.

Anthony Gordon has suggested that some of the star names that have been overlooked for Thomas Tuchel's latest England squad, including Jude Bellingham, Jack Grealish and Phil Foden, shouldn't take their omission personally. The Newcastle United forward went on to insist that it needs to be a team effort if the Three Lions are going to win major international tournaments, and is under no illusions that his place in the team is guaranteed.

Jack Grealish's omission from Thomas Tuchel's latest England squad was not just a surprise, but also completely ridiculous. Only a handful of Premier League players have made better starts to the season than Grealish, who has quickly rediscovered the form that once saw him touted as one of the brightest talents of his generation, since joining Everton on loan from Manchester City in the summer transfer window.

Wales boss Craig Bellamy has admitted that the Dragons face a huge challenge when they take on England at Wembley, comparing the matchup to an unfair boxing fight. The former Premier League star hailed Thomas Tuchel’s “ridiculous” squad depth and insisted his side must be at “full gas” to compete against their star-studded neighbours in Thursday’s friendly.

Tuchel's England squad announcement has been met with shock, derision and and hefty dose of incredulity by many after the Three Lions boss made some contentious squad selections for the forthcoming matches against Wales and Latvia. Bellingham has returned to fitness for Real Madrid following shoulder surgery, but misses out, Adam Wharton has been overlooked, but Jordan Henderson has been included and there's no place for Grealish or Foden.

Paul Mullin has been told that a reunion with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at Wrexham should not be written off, with there still a chance that he will be offered a shot at redemption. A cult hero from the Red Dragons’ historic run of three successive promotions is currently out on loan at Wigan Athletic, but he remains under contract in North Wales.
