CYMRU’S national football team, under the guidance of manager Rob Page, has unveiled its squad of 25 players for two significant upcoming fixtures. These include an international challenge match against Korea Republic on Thursday, September 7, and a UEFA EURO 2024 qualifier against Latvia in Riga on Monday, September 11.
Key Player Returns and Promising Newcomers
Notably, Tom Lockyer makes a triumphant return to the squad after successfully recovering from heart surgery. Additionally, Josh Sheehan is set to make his first appearance in the national team since 2021. The squad also features three uncapped players: Tom King, Morgan Fox, and Liam Cullen.
Crucial UEFA EURO 2024 Qualifiers
As Cymru reaches the halfway point of the UEFA EURO 2024 qualifying campaign, they currently occupy the fourth position with four points. In a memorable encounter earlier this year, Cymru secured a 1-0 victory against Latvia thanks to a decisive header from Kieffer Moore. Now, they face Latvia once again, this time away in Riga, in a crucial qualifier.
Cymru’s match against Korea Republic carries additional intrigue as it marks the first-ever meeting between the two sides in a men’s international fixture. Korea Republic, led by the illustrious Son Heung-min as their captain, presents a formidable challenge.
