Football 5/9/2021. Plenty of World Cup Qualifiers today. Wales plays Belarus away and England takes on Andorra at Wembley.

Football 5/9/2021 – Belarus v Wales

Wales will be without 13 players for Sunday’s World Cup qualifier against Belarus in Kazan, Russia.

Aaron Ramsey and Kieffer Moore are among seven players to pull out because of injury and Covid-19, while three more are absent because of visa issues.

Defenders Connor Roberts and Ben Cabango were already injured and midfielder Harry Wilson is suspended.

“We’re without big players, but it gives others an opportunity to step up to the plate,” said boss Robert Page.

In the absence of so many first-team players, a shadow Wales side showed promise in Wednesday’s goalless friendly draw with Finland.

Football 5/9/2021 – England v Andorra

• England manager Gareth Southgate is expected to name an entirely different XI to the one that started Thursday’s 4-0 win away to Hungary, with exception of perhaps Jordan Pickford in goal.
• With Jadon Sancho ruled out, Jesse Lingard will most likely have to play out wide to cover for his Manchester United team-mate. This has reportedly led to Southgate deciding to play Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield.
• With Alexander-Arnold in a midfield three alongside Jude Bellingham and his Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, Reece James seems safe to start at right-back with Kieran Trippier more than likely required at left-back in the place of Luke Shaw.
• Southgate has already confirmed Wolves’ Conor Coady will start in defence and he could be joined at centre-back by Tyrone Mings. However, John Stones should be fresh to start all three matches given he’s not featured for Manchester City this season.

• Marc Pujol and Jordi Alaez are both suspended for Andorra after bookings in their 2-0 win ovr San Marino on Thursday night.
• Albert Alavedra should keep his place at centre-back with Emili Garcia unavailable for Andorra, so Joan Cervos will continue at left-back.
• It wouldn’t be a surprise if Andorra resorted to a back five against England on Sunday, particularly with attacking players like Pujol and Alaez suspended.
• Marc Vales earned a perfect 10 rating against San Marino after scoring both goals on Thursday.
