Craig Bellamy boost for Chris Coleman’s Wales



WALES boss Chris Coleman has been told Craig Bellamy is ready to return and boost the World Cup dream.

The on-fire Cardiff City front-runner has helped drive Malky Mackay’s Bluebirds to the Championship summit with his stunning form.

And, having missed Wales’ qualifying openers with Belgium and Serbia, Bellamy has been declared fit enough to play a part in the looming clashes with Scotland and Croatia.

Bellamy, 33, has had a history of injuries down the years and question marks have been raised over how much rest he needs between back to back matches.


Bellamy has just starred in Bluebirds wins over Blackpool and Birmingham. Cardiff next meet Ipswich away on Saturday, with Wales then playing the Scots and Croatia.

But Mackay insists that with the correct build-up, Bellamy could feature in each of those games.

“He’s just done Saturday and Tuesday for us.

“There are a couple we have to manage properly because of what they give us on the pitch,” said Mackay.

“You have to focus on how to get the best out of them at 3pm on Saturday or 7,45pm on a Tuesday in terms of how you plan their week.

“And we’ve got a sports science team and a medical team that are exceptional at making sure people peak at the tight time.”

I admire Bellamy's commitment and I have no wish for Wales to do badly (obviously) but I do also feel that with Coleman we've been handed a prize turkey and, as such, I don't want to risk him in what looks like another poor qualifying campaign. With Maynard out, I feel that Bellamy (along with Whitts) is that extra touch of class and quality City need to keep pushing for promotion. You only have to read the recent comments by Hudson & Noone to realise how much the team look up to him - losing Bellamy would be worse than our loss of Maynard. So, no, please sit this one out Bellers.

All of the above... Though I'm sure the Scots will go easy on the loveable, needling, hot head

I think I should be outraged at the suggestion that Wales should ever field anything other than the best possible XI but I have to agree. Players younger than Bellamy have retired from decent international sides, I wish he'd follow thier lead. Besides with Coleman we'll never field a best possible XI just a least bad XI.

Bollocks. Bellamy for Wales!

Well, that told us!

Malky made sure that Bellamy was not available - crafty scottish fox he is.

I'm sure I just read that he's out for the Ipswich and Wales games.
