Daniel James returns to Wales squad for final Nations League matches after injury

Wales welcome Daniel James for their final Nations League matches against Türkiye and Iceland.

James is yet to play for new boss Craig Bellamy after suffering a hamstring injury in August.

The 26-year-old winger has started Leeds’ last two games in the Sky Bet Championship and scored in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Plymouth at Elland Road.

Bellamy has named a 26-man squad for the trip to Turkey on November 16 and Iceland’s visit to Cardiff three days later, as he bids to extend his historic start in the dugout.

The 45-year-old became the first Wales manager to go unbeaten in his first four games after opening with two wins and two draws in the Nations League.

Attacking midfielder Rubin Colwill returns to the team after showing good form for Cardiff, while goalkeeper Tom King replaces Adam Davies.

Swansea midfielder Ollie Cooper will miss out after suffering a stress fracture in his foot.

Cooper has impressed for Swansea this season and has appeared in all four of Bellamy’s games for Wales so far.

Captain Aaron Ramsey and Ethan Ampadu remain sidelined with injuries that caused them to miss last month’s draw in Iceland and the home win over Montenegro.

Wales, who face Turkey in Kayseri two points behind the leaders of Group B4, would secure promotion to League A with two final victories.

Full squad: D Ward (Leicester), K Darlow (Leeds), T King (Wolves), R Norrington-Davies (Sheff Utd), O Beck (Blackburn – on loan from Liverpool), B Davies (Tottenham), B Cabango ( Swansea), J Rodon (Leeds), C Mepham (Sunderland, on loan from Bournemouth), C Roberts (Burnley), N Williams (Nottingham Forest), J Sheehan (Bolton), J James (Rennes), J Allen (Swansea), R Colwill (Cardiff), S Thomas (Nantes – on loan from Huddersfield), W Burns (Ipswich), D James (Leeds), D Brooks (Bournemouth), B Johnson (Tottenham), H Wilson (Fulham), K Moore (Sheff Utd), M Harris (Oxford), L Koumas (Stoke – on loan from Liverpool), L Cullen (Swansea), N Broadhead (Ipswich).
