Kieffer Moore withdraws from Cymru squad due to calf injury

KIEFFER Moore has been forced to withdraw from the Cymru squad for their upcoming Nations League matches against Turkey and Iceland due to a calf injury.

The Sheffield United striker sustained the injury during the Blades’ recent Championship victory over Bristol City and subsequently missed Sunday’s derby against Sheffield Wednesday. Moore is one of three players to pull out of manager Craig Bellamy’s squad for the upcoming fixtures. The first of these is against Turkey in Kayseri on Saturday, followed by Iceland’s visit to Cardiff three days later.

Alongside Moore, Ipswich Town winger Wes Burns and Blackburn Rovers defender Owen Beck have also withdrawn. Burns is reported to be managing a knock and will remain with Ipswich during the international break. Meanwhile, Beck has been struggling with a back issue.

To bolster the squad, Bellamy has called up Coventry City defender Jay Dasilva, Charlie Savage of Reading, and Birmingham City’s Luke Harris.

Cymru currently sit second in their Nations League group, just behind leaders Turkey, having won two and drawn two of their matches since Bellamy took charge.
