England Under 21 International called up for Wales
Jay Dasilva Has been called up to the Wales full international squad, the left back has answered the call after a complete history of England appearances right up to under 21 level. He qualifies for Wales as his grandmother is from Pontypridd.
It’s an interesting choice from Wales head coach Rob Page, Jay has fifteen Championship appearances under his belt this season for Coventry City and will surely be seen as back up - but we are not too sure. He has three yellows to his name this season and one assist. Any rearguard action required in Armenia on the weekend or against Türkiye next Tuesday will require as much defensive experience as possible. The twenty five year old played just under one hundred and fifty times for Bristol City before joining Coventry City in the summer. His brother Cole has played for Wales at Under 21 level.
Ben Davies, Neco Williams, and Sunderland’s Niall Huggins were Page’s other options at left back, speaking on the call up Page said. "Jay brings valuable experience and versatility to our squad. His journey in English football has been commendable, and we believe he can contribute significantly to our defensive setup.”
Coventry boss Mark Robins though has played Jay in a more advanced left sided role, the majority of his appearances coming in a more advanced midfield four or a form of left/wing back. Maybe Page see’s him as a more flexible option if things do require bolstering up at the back.
It feels like a solid international selection from Page as Cymru go in to two games they really do have to win.

Leeds get back on track against woeful Cardiff After last week’s defeat, Daniel Farke must have been thankful that the fixture list gave us the division’s bottom team as our next opponents. But although we got the win we needed, it was against a desperately poor Cardiff City who had to play with ten men for over an hour, and somehow it felt strangely unconvincing.

Leeds suffer frustrating defeat at the hands of BurnleyOnce again Leeds dominated the possession but couldn’t find their way past a determined and well-organised defence. So it was Burnley who took the points after taking advantage of one of the few occasions when they were able to break downfield.
Leeds pay tribute to former captain Sol BambaSol Bamba passed away on Saturday at the tragically early age of 39. The tribute on the club’s official website was one of many, as the football world paid it’s respects to a defender who was highly regarded by everyone in the game who came into contact with him.
