Euro 2024 qualifying - Group D: Turkey v Wales

Venue: Samsun 19 May Stadium Date: Monday, 19 June Kick-off: 19:45 BST

Wales defender Ben Davies has withdrawn from the squad for their Euro 2024 qualification match against Turkey due to the birth of his first child.

Striker Kieffer Moore is unavailable after his red card against Armenia on Friday, while goalkeeper Tom King has also not travelled to Samsun.

Wales manager Rob Page confirmed Davies' decision to remain at home was pre-arranged before the Armenia game.

Turkey are top of Group D with Wales two points behind in third.

"Kieffer Moore is a big loss for us but there is now an opportunity for others to step up and take advantage," said Page.

"And Ben's decision was pre-arranged. It is disappointing but it's out of our control and we will make the changes that will make us competitive.

"What I want is a reaction from the players in the performance. If they do that, the result will take care of itself."

Page's side are looking to bounce back after a humiliating 4-2 home defeat by Armenia on Tuesday.

Defeat by Armenia on Friday was one of the worst in recent years for Wales, who have reached two European Championships and a World Cup since 2016.
