Wales squad: Aaron Ramsey misses out but Gareth Bale included for World Cup qualifer against Moldova

WALES star Aaron Ramsey will Moldova’s visit in a huge blow to Chris Coleman‘s hopes of getting his World Cup qualifying campaign off to a flier,

The Dragons are trying to build on their brilliant run to the semi-finals at Euro 2016 but will be without the crocked playmaker, who was named in Uefa’s Team of the Tournament.

Coleman – who will also be without Jonny Williams – said: “With a player as good as Aaron, he’s irreplaceable almost. He makes a huge impact for us, he’s a great player, it’s a shame.

“These campaign games are massive. He’s a loss to any team so we’re disappointed.

“We’re told Aaron could be out for another three weeks, it’s very difficult to put an exact date on it.

“Jonny Williams has had a real good impact. He brings something different, I saw the tackle on Jonny in pre-season, it was a cowardly tackle.

“But that’s international football, you have to roll with the punches, I’m not complaining.”

In-form Gareth Bale is available, however, after the Real Madrid flier scored a brace in their La Liga opener – including a stunning header 74 seconds in.

Coleman added: “There’s no surprise, scoring after about 75 seconds.

“He’s capable of almost anything, I think Madrid are very excited about the future with him.

“They recognise they’ve got someone who will be there for a while and is capable of winning everything.

“He’s got the first-class mentality, everybody wins.”

Coleman was asked about speculation linking him to a Premier League return with Hull.

And the Dragons chief took the opportunity to assure fans he was fully committed to leading his country.

Ex-Fulham boss Coleman, 46, said: "I think everybody is under the impression that everyone wants to work in the Premier League.

"I want to work at the top level like everyone else, but it doesn’t mean that’s the Premier League.

"It’s a great league but what I’ve got here is very special and close to my heart. I’m fully focused on what I need to do for my country.

"I’m happy, looking forward to this next challenge.

"With the Premier League, you look at it sideways, of course you do, but managing your national team comes around once if you’re lucky. I don’t think I’ll have any regrets."

Hal Robson-Kanu makes the cut despite failing to find a club since his Euros exploits.

The out-of-contract striker, 27, has been linked with a series of big-name teams without putting pen to paper

Coleman added: "I’d like to see Hal settled, but if he’s not 100 percent comfortable with the options.

"He had an incredible campaign but he’s got to the best for Hal and there’s nothing wrong with that."
