Ben Davies injury blow for Wales’ World Cup qualifiers



Rhodri Evans

Ben Davies went off on a stretcher after suffering a leg injury for Tottenham Hotspur against West Ham United on Saturday.

The Wales captain had to leave the field on a stretcher and was given oxygen after going down injured inside the first 20 minutes of Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat at home.

The injury will be a major concern for Wales boss Craig Bellamy ahead of March’s World Cup play-offs.

Wales face Bosnia-Herzegovina in the semi-final at Cardiff City Stadium on 26 March, with the winner at home to Northern Ireland or Italy in the final on 31 March.

Davies’ contract with Tottenham expires at the end of the season with Thomas Frank not providing an update after the game.
