Lucky11| FIFA World Cup: Wales Full Squad Analysis
Who has received the nod from Wales head coach Robert Page as the country prepares for the FIFA World Cup 2022? Wales will make their return to the World Cup in Qatar after a 64-year absence.
They made their lone appearance in 1958, finishing in the quarter-finals after falling to eventual winners Brazil. Gareth Bale was important against Ukraine in the qualifying play-offs, as Wales earned their ticket to the flagship international competition thanks to his first-half winner.
Can Bale dazzle once more in Qatar and lead the team to a better result than in 1958? Wales is in Group B with England, Iran, and the United States. Not the worst group to be placed in, and if they play to their potential, they have a chance to advance to the knockout stages.

Goalkeepers
The starting spot is always contested by veteran keeper Wayne Hennessey and Leicester City keeper Danny Ward.
The latter was in goal for the majority of the qualification matches, but knee surgery took him out for an extended period, and Hennessey has since reclaimed the top spot. The 35-year-old has been the regular starter since 2022 and should keep that position in Qatar.
Meanwhile, Page has named Adam Davies as Qatar's third goalkeeper.
Defenders
Wales' defensive line has a good mix of youth and experience.
In a three-man defense, Tottenham's Ben Davies is in charge of the organization and will most likely be flanked by Rennes' Joe Rodon and Bournemouth's Chris Mepham. Ethan Ampadu of Spezia is another excellent center-back option, but Page has been utilizing him more as a defensive midfielder.
Neco Williams should start at left wingback, with Connor Roberts on the opposite flank. Chris Gunter, who has over 100 caps for Wales, is anticipated to give him a run for his money.
Midfielders
The page has been utilizing Ampadu as a defensive screener, and the Spezia star might team up with Aaron Ramsey, whose World Cup experience will be crucial.
Matt Smith, Sorba Thomas, and Rubin Colwill are among the young players eager to make their impact on football's biggest stage.
Harry Wilson was a significant figure in the qualification process and was named to the final 26-man team. Meanwhile, Joe Allen will be eager to show himself to Page after falling down the pecking order in recent months.
Attackers
Wales has a talented front line led by their talismanic skipper Gareth Bale and assisted by a number of younger players like Brennan Johnson and Tyler Roberts.
Dan James has been a top-level player for many years, and his form will be critical for Wales in Qatar. Kieffer Moore has tremendous international experience and may be utilized as the target man for Bale and James to maneuver around from the start.
