Bellamy bemoans new schedule after Denmark loss

Craig Bellamy, Wales' head coach, expressed dissatisfaction with the new four-match international schedule following their recent loss to Denmark. The defeat, coupled with a previous loss to Norway, marked the team's third setback in four games during an extended international window. Bellamy, who was not in favor of the schedule change, argued that the heavy workload disproportionately affected injury-prone teams like Wales.

He cited the traditional six-game schedule across three windows as a more manageable alternative. The coach also highlighted the physical toll the new schedule places on his depleted squad, which includes a string of injuries. Wales' goalkeeper, Danny Ward, made crucial saves, but a Denmark penalty ultimately secured the win. Despite the loss, Wales secured a third-place position in Group A4 of the Nations League after a Norway defeat in Portugal.
