Ian Rush suggests that Wales must extract valuable lessons from their World Cup play-off defeat to Bosnia and Herzegovina to bolster their chances of reaching Euro 2028. After a challenging year that saw the team remain winless, the Red Dragons now face a demanding schedule in Nations League A against Portugal, Norway, and Denmark.
Despite the recent setback, the former Liverpool icon expressed confidence in manager Craig Bellamy. Rush noted that while the upcoming fixtures are difficult, Bellamy possesses the necessary expertise to guide the national team to success. With the tournament set to be hosted domestically, qualifying remains a top priority.
The squad is seeing various shifts ahead of the 2026-27 season, with players like Karl Darlow moving to Manchester United and Harry Wilson transferring to Leeds United. Rush also highlighted the promise of youngster Lewis Koumas, who continues to show significant potential. Wales will begin their Nations League campaign against Portugal on September 24.
