Having been without a number of key players including captain Aaron Ramsey and in-form frontman Brennan Johnson, Bellamy claimed making the most of his squad will boost hopes of returning to a major finals.
It has been nigh-on two years since Joe Allen wore a red shirt, tempted out of retirement by Bellamy and straight back into the hearts of Wales fans. The standing ovation for his 59th minute introduction off the bench might have had a testimonial feel, but back in the number seven shirt he excelled in.
I thought it was unlikely, Allen said of whether he thought he would return after standing aside in February 2023. I don't think it's something you can ever 100% rule out, but when I spoke to Craig Bellamy, I was pretty easily convinced to come back to the setup.
