Leeds United skipper Ethan Ampadu is absent after suffering a knee injury in mid-August. Rubin Colwill misses out despite strong early-season form for Cardiff, while uncapped duo Dylan Lawlor and Ronan Kpakio and Coventry's Kai Andrews are included in Craig Bellamy's 25-man squad. Wrexham trio Danny Ward, Nathan Broadhead and Kieffer Moore are selected. Wales sit second in Group J and will host Canada in a friendly on 9 September.
Wales captain Aaron Ramsey has been left out of the squad for the World Cup qualifier away to Kazakhstan on 4 September. The 34-year-old midfielder came off the bench last week for new club Pumas UNAM, playing his first minutes for the Mexican side since suffering a hamstring injury in Cardiff City's 2-1 victory over Luton on 11 March. Leeds United skipper Ethan Ampadu is also absent after suffering a knee injury in their 1-0 Premier League win against Everton in mid-August.
Rubin Colwill misses out on a call-up despite impressing for Cardiff in their unbeaten start to the season in League One and the EFL Cup. But Bluebirds team-mates Dylan Lawlor and Ronan Kpakio are included, with Coventry City midfielder Kai Andrews the third uncapped player in Craig Bellamy's 25-man squad. After facing Kazakhstan in Astana, Wales host Canada in a friendly five days later. For the first time in more than a decade, Wrexham will provide players for the national side, with the Championship team's new signings Danny Ward, Nathan Broadhead and Kieffer Moore all included. Wales are second in Group J following their only defeat from their four games in this qualifying campaign, a 4-3 loss in Belgium in June.
