Aaron Ramsey is back in the Wales squad as Craig Bellamy’s men prepare to take on England and Belgium.

Ramsey, from Caerphilly, returns to the squad for the first time since his move from Cardiff City to Mexican outfit Pumas UNAM over the summer.

His absence, Bellamy explained at the time, was a “mutual decision” between the pair, due to Ramsey’s lack of minutes at the time.

But he has since been playing more regularly for his new side in Liga MX and returns to captain his country.

He will be joined in the squad by young centre-back Dylan Lawlor, who also hails from Caerphilly.

Lawlor, 19, made his debut in the World Cup Qualifying match against Kazakhstan on September 4, delivering a Man of the Match performance.

Wales face England in a friendly at Wembley on Thursday October 9, before hosting Belgium in a World Cup qualifier at Cardiff City Stadium on Monday October 13.
