Today, Wales, who no longer have Gareth Bale on their team, start qualifying for Euro 2024 against Croatia.
Aaron Ramsey will be in charge of Robert Page’s team when they start their Group D campaign without Bale, Ben Davies, and Brennan Johnson, who are all injured.
After another deep run at the World Cup, Croatia knows that a win on their own turf will set them up well in a group where Turkey will be competing with these two teams for the two automatic qualification spots.
