"Ben Davies has been included in the Wales squad for their final World Cup qualifying group games against Liechtenstein and North Macedonia, despite missing the past month with injury. The 32-year-old Tottenham Hotspur defender has not played since picking up a hamstring problem in October's defeat by Belgium on 13 October. But he returns for the trip to Liechtenstein on Saturday 15 November, with Wales then hosting North Macedonia in Cardiff the following Tuesday."
"Davies will continue to lead Wales, as regular captain Aaron Ramsey is once again absent. Midfielder Ramsey, 34, has missed the entirety of the campaign with fitness issues and has not been selected amid reports he has quit Mexican side Pumas UNAM. Davies has captained the side in Ramsey's absence and is joined in Craig Bellamy's 26-man squad by fit-again Leeds United winger Dan James."
"An ankle problem saw the 27-year-old pull out of last month's squad for the friendly game with England at Wembley and the qualifying clash with Belgium. His replacement, Cardiff City's Isaak Davies, drops out of the squad, although Cardiff City midfielder Rubin Colwill keeps his place. Colwill, 23, was only called into October's squad as a replacement and his omission in recent months has caused some debate among supporters and pundits given his League One form."

Aaron Ramsey remains absent from selection due to ongoing fitness issues. Dan James returns after an ankle problem, while Isaak Davies drops out and Rubin Colwill retains his place. Several players, including Connor Roberts, Danny Ward and Wes Burns, remain unavailable through injury. Wales need wins in their remaining fixtures after the defeat to Belgium ended automatic qualification hopes.
