🔗 Share this article Three Lions Squad Depth Labelled 'Absurd' - Welsh Boss Bellamy The German manager was appointed England manager in October 2024. Published 1 hour ago International friendly: Wales vs England Venue: Wembley Stadium, the capital Date: Thursday, 9 October Kick-off: 19:45 BST The Wales head coach says England's squad depth is remarkable that a boxing promoter would not match them against his Wales side. Bellamy's men face England in a friendly at the national stadium on this Thursday before their crucial qualifying match against Belgium next the following week. National team coach Tuchel has omitted the such as Bellingham, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish out of his selection for the match against Wales and their qualifying game against the Latvian team. "England have a incredible squad, like the French," Bellamy said. "They have a transfer market value of 1.4 billion pounds, Wales' is 170 million. Were you a boxing promoter, you wouldn't put us together. It wouldn't be allowed." Bellamy explains ensuring Wales can compete with the talented opponents is a "driving force". Bellamy continued: "We don't go off market prices, but the reality is England don't just have a single lineup. They possess multiple and the French and other nations have the same level. They have many top talents and that's the honest truth." "A defender went out with injury the other day and there's only two dozen others to go! They've got 60-odd players. I'd love us to be stacked like them." These two nations most recently met at the 2022 tournament in Qatar, when England emerged as comfortable victors in a group match before the previous England team made it to the quarter-finals. Southgate's successor is Tuchel, a European and world club winner at the London club who has won league championships in France and his native Germany. The Welsh boss was previously an assistant at the Belgian side and Burnley to Vincent Kompany, who replaced Tuchel at Bayern Munich. "He's an outstanding manager - his record speak for themselves," Bellamy added. "I have a degree of insight because the club he left I know individuals who have joined. I gain a bit of an insight from that of his methods and it's remarkable. " "His tactical detail is elite and I wanted to be facing that - see how you're going to adapt because he adapts too. I will get to learn from it. I aspire to get to that level." Wales Team List Keepers: Karl Darlow (Leeds United), Adam Davies (Sheffield Utd), Tom King (Everton).
