Nations League: Karl Darlow in Wales squad as Aaron Ramsey remains skipper

Date:

Bellamy said “he didn’t see any reason” to take the captaincy away Ramsey “for the time being”, while stressing that he wants numerous leaders in his squad.

“I understand the role of captaincies, I was captain for Wales through all of the age groups and into the senior team,” he added.

“I do understand it, but I like a leadership group, I like a number of captains, I like a group. I like a lot of senior players who have a lot of input and I like to be able to communicate with them as well, tactically but also how I want a squad to look and how I want them to behave and they play a big role in that it is theirs.

“Also, what I’d ask for them to do on the pitch, I’d like their input with that. We have a certain level of non-negotiables, I certainly do, but I do like feedback.

“I know Aaron might be the captain, but I see a number of captains if I’m being honest.”

Darlow will compete with Leicester City’s Danny Ward – who played his first club game in 17 months on Tuesday – and Sheffield United’s Adam Davies for the goalkeeping position in Bellamy’s Wales team.

Currently second choice to Illan Meslier at Leeds, Darlow turned down the chance to represent Wales in 2013 and 2018.

He is the grandson of Ken Leek, who was a member of Wales’ 1958 World Cup squad.

Darlow is one of two uncapped players called up by Bellamy alongside left-back Owen Beck, who joined Blackburn Rovers on loan from Liverpool this week.
