Liechtenstein vs. Wales World Cup qualifier

Venue: Vaduz’s Rheinpark Stadion on Saturday, November 15 Kick-off: 17:00 GMT

Ben Davies, who has missed the past month with an injury, has been named in Wales’ squad for their final group games against Liechtenstein and North Macedonia.

The 32-year-old defender from Tottenham Hotspur hasn’t played since suffering a hamstring injury on October 13 when Belgium defeated him.

However, he makes a Saturday 15 November trip to Liechtenstein, while Wales will host North Macedonia in Cardiff on Tuesday.

Since Aaron Ramsey is sat down for a while, Davies will continue to lead Wales.

In Ramsey’s absence, Davies has taken the starting role, and fit-again Leeds United winger Dan James has joined Craig Bellamy’s 26-man squad.

The 27-year-old opted not to play in the previous month’s squad due to an ankle issue for the friendly encounter with England at Wembley and Belgium’s qualifying match.

Isaak Davies, who replaces him at Cardiff City, leaves the squad, but Cardiff City’s Rubin Colwill takes his place.

As Wales attempt to return to form at the end of their group campaign, Connor Roberts, Connor Roberts, Danny Ward, Wrexham goalkeeper, and Wes Burns are all still out through injury.

With only one more game to go before Wales need to win their remaining games to finish Group J, the 4-2 defeat to Belgium put an end to their automatic qualifying hopes.

In what will be a crucial encounter, Wales travels to Liechtenstein on November 15 to take on second-placed North Macedonia in Cardiff three days later in what promises to be a crucial match.

Liechtenstein are currently ranked 206th in the world in six games, but they have not yet collected a point or a goal. With a goal difference advantage of six, North Macedonia are currently three points ahead of Wales in terms of goals played.

With only three points left to play against Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein, Belgium are almost certain of being automatically qualified.

Wales’s only chance of finishing second is to win both of their remaining games.

A draw against North Macedonia in Cardiff would also suffice if Liechtenstein were to win by six or more goals.

Wales already has a play-off spot in the Nations League, but it must place second to avoid being among the bottom seeds and having a chance to advance to the semi-finals.

Ben Cabango (Swansea City), Jay Dasilva (Coventry City), Ben Davies (Tottenham Hotspur), Ronan Kpakio (Cardiff City), Dylan Lawlor (Cardiff City), Chris Mepham (West Bromwich Albion), Joe Rodon (Leeds United), and Neco Williams (Nottingham Forest) are the defenders.

Ethan Ampadu (Leeds United), David Brooks (Bournemouth), Jordan James (Leicester City), Josh Sheehan (Bolton Wanderers), Sorba Thomas (Stoke City), Harry Wilson (Fulham), Joel Colwill (Cardiff City), and Rubin Colwill (Cardiff City) are the midfielders.

Judd Trump was knocked out of the Nanjing International Championship by China’s Wu Yize in a spectacular comeback.

At the halfway point of the match, Trump, 36, led by 4-0 going into extra time, but Wu, who was 22nd overall, won the following six frames to advance to the quarter-finals.

The 22-year-old, who finished second in the English Open and Scottish Open, won by making five breaks of 80 or more, including a 109 in the sixth frame.

Trump has had a mixed start to the year, but he made it to the Northern Ireland Open final last month in Belfast, where he lost to fellow Englishman and close friend Jack Lisowski.

Barry Hawkins, who ended Lisowski’s successful winning streak with a 6-4 victory, will be Wu’s quarter-final opponent.

As he came back from a 4 0 adrift to level with Hawkins, Lisowski, who defeated Ronnie O’Sullivan on Tuesday in the third round.

However, the former World Championship runner-up restored his lead with a 75-frame break in the ninth frame to secure his spot in the following round.

Following 6-1 victories over China’s Si Jiahui and Scotland’s Anthony McGill, world champion Zhao Xintong of China and England’s four-time Crucible winner Mark Selby will face off in one of the other quarter-finals.

The final eight matches will be played on Wednesday at 11:30 GMT, with the final four remaining last-16 games beginning at that time.

China’s Wu Yize produced a sensational comeback to knock world number one Judd Trump out of the International Championship in Nanjing.

Trump, 36, was 4-0 in front at the mid-session interval but was limited to only 18 more points in the match as Wu, ranked 22nd in the world, won the next six frames in succession to reach the quarter-finals.

The former English Open and Scottish Open runner-up, 22, made five breaks of 80 or more – including a 109 in the sixth frame – on his way to victory.

Trump has had a mixed start to the season but he reached the final of the Northern Ireland Open in Belfast last month, losing in a deciding frame to fellow Englishman and close friend Jack Lisowski.

Wu’s quarter-final opponent will be England’s Barry Hawkins, who ended in-form Lisowski’s winning run with a 6-4 success.

Lisowski, who defeated Ronnie O’Sullivan in the third round on Tuesday, knocked in century breaks in three consecutive frames as he fought back from 4-0 behind to draw level with Hawkins.

But the former World Championship runner-up restored his lead with a break of 75 in the ninth frame on his way to confirming his place in the next round.

World champion Zhao Xintong of China and England’s four-time Crucible winner Mark Selby will meet in one of the other quarter-finals, following 6-1 wins against China’s Si Jiahui and Scotland’s Anthony McGill respectively.

The line-up for the last eight will be completed later on Wednesday, with the four remaining last-16 matches starting at 11:30 GMT.

Lewis Moody, the former England captain, thanked the public for their “wonderful” support since his diagnosis of motor neurone disease.

The 47-year-old, who was a member of England’s 2003 World Cup winning squad, made it known in September that he had been diagnosed with the muscle-wasting condition.

The former flame and his family have been supported by more than £200, 000 raised on a GoFundMe page set up by Moody’s friends and former Leicester Tigers team-mates Geordan Murphy and Leon Lloyd.

According to Moody, “it’s been a whirlwind.”

“It’s been wonderful because there has been such a strong outpouring of love and support.” Although it’s occasionally a little overwhelming, it’s all from such a lovely and wonderful place.

“It’s been a strange time, but for me and my family, it’s just felt warm embrace from everyone who is supporting us,” he said.

Moody noticed some shoulder weakness while working out in the gym and later learned he had MND.

A series of scans revealed nerve damage to his brain and spinal cord after physiotherapy failed to resolve the issue.

Moody, who has two sons, 17 and 15, says it has been more difficult than the physical effects of his diagnosis so far.

My hand and shoulder have “minor symptoms,” according to Moody.

“Your mind is the only thing it has on you,” you say. It persists.

“Trying to park that and concentrate on the day-to-day.” maximizing your physical potential each day. feeling committed to your goals and self-assured.

Treatment can slow down MND progression because it is incurable and can progress quickly.

A study of Italian footballers suggests that the rate of MND is up to six times higher than the general population, despite the fact that elite athletes are most adversely affected by it.
