Latest Kazakhstan vs Wales team information

Craig Bellamy has left captain Aaron Ramsey out of this month's training camp due to a lack of fitness. Two other Wales stars are also unavailable.

Goalkeeper Danny Ward picked up an injury in Wrexham's win over Millwall last weekend and will be absent along with Leeds United's Ethan Ampadu.

There are unlikely to be immediate opportunities, but Cardiff City duo Dylan Lawlor and Ronan Kpakio have been called up for the first time, along with Coventry City midfielder Kai Andrews – who has also never played for the national team.

Likely to start, Harry Wilson has scored six goals since Bellamy took charge, while Sorba Thomas has also been in impressive form, particularly with two assists in the first leg; both will partner Brennan Johnson in attack.

On the other side, the striker duo Maksim Samorodov and Bakhtiyar Zaynutdinov – who play in Russia – are the main spearheads for Kazakhstan. Zaynutdinov is averaging a goal every three games for the team.

The Eagles will be without former captain Askhat Tagybergen – who scored from the penalty spot at Cardiff but has retired from international football – as well as goalkeeper Kairat Alexander Zarutskyi due to injury.

Therefore, FC Astana's Mukhammedzhan Seysen is likely to start at home.

Latest football commentary Kazakhstan vs Wales

Wales have made a promising start under Craig Bellamy, having secured promotion to Group A of the UEFA Nations League at the end of last year and have gone on to collect seven points from their first four 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Also the top scorer in Group J with 10 goals, the Dragons opened with a win over Kazakhstan, then earned a valuable point in the final minutes of the match against North Macedonia thanks to David Brooks' equalizer.

Wales then eased past Liechtenstein 3-0 at home, then nearly pulled off a shock upset against favourites Belgium. They came from three goals down to fight back in Brussels but were ultimately defeated by a late Kevin De Bruyne strike.

Bellamy's nine-game unbeaten run was thus ended, but his side remain second in the group, just a point behind leaders North Macedonia – although Belgium still have two games in hand.

Having won just two of their last 14 away games, Wales now face the long trip to the Kazakh capital – where a win is seen as a must if they are to keep alive their hopes of finishing in the top two.

Before concluding this training session with a friendly against Canada in Swansea, Bellamy and his team will aim for three full points at the Astana Arena.

Kazakhstan have only faced Wales once – losing in March – and are currently four points behind their opponents in Group J.

The team is currently ranked 114th in the FIFA rankings, 31 places lower than its all-time best, while its upcoming opponents are 83 places above them.

After three games, Kazakhstan have scored just three goals, won one and lost two. After a 1-3 defeat to Wales, they beat Liechtenstein 2-0 and then lost 0-1 to North Macedonia.

In the last 16 matches in all competitions, the "Falcons" lost 13, the only win besides the match against Liechtenstein was in a friendly match with Curacao.

Furthermore, their last home win in World Cup qualifying came 12 years ago, showing the difficulty of the task this time around.
