"Harry Wilson has developed a reputation for making an impact off the bench for Fulham. But he has been making the case to be considered Wales' most important player for a while now. Never mind the fact the 28-year-old is among the leading substitute scorers in the Premier League - his five last term equalling Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's season-best tally from the bench - Wales cannot wait."
""I think with the number of caps, the number of big games I've played in, I'd like to think I'm one of the leaders in the group," said Wilson, who will win his 67th cap and described the opportunity as a massive honour and a dream fulfilled. "I'd much rather Ethan or Ben were playing, but it's up to me to make sure I lead us in the right way and make sure we get that win.""
Harry Wilson has developed a reputation for making an impact off the bench for Fulham and is among the Premier League's leading substitute scorers, with five goals last season equalling Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's substitute tally. Craig Bellamy named Wilson captain for the World Cup qualifier against North Macedonia at Cardiff City Stadium. Wilson was suspended for the Liechtenstein game and returns as Wales require a win to secure a home semi-final in the play-offs. Injuries to Aaron Ramsey and Ben Davies, plus Ethan Ampadu's suspension, left few alternatives for the armband. Wilson will win his 67th cap and regards the captaincy as a massive honour and a dream fulfilled.
