Key Midfielders ⁤Ruled Out

Wales will be without two key central midfielders,Ethan ‍Ampadu and Joe James,for ⁢their upcoming match‍ against North Macedonia.

Regarding a tackle involving Ampadu,an unnamed source‌ defended ⁤the ‌play,stating,”He has every right to go for the ball. His foot’s high, so is the⁢ other player’s foot, ⁢and [Ampadu] gets to the ball first.I don’t even think it’s a foul.”

Joe James acknowledged his ​disappointment at receiving the yellow card, stating, “It’s disappointing to get booked. You don’t think about it on the ⁤pitch,⁤ thay were on the counter-attack and I had to stop it.” Despite his suspension, James expressed confidence in the ​team’s ability to succeed, saying, “I think ⁣we have enough in⁤ the squad⁣ to win it on Tuesday. ‌I am disappointed, but I’ll be ⁣supporting the lads from the sidelines.”
