Recalling Ramsey for Kazak trip would not be fair, insists Bellamy

WALES boss Craig Bellamy says it would have been irresponsible to recall skipper Aaron Ramsey for the World Cup qualifier in Kazakhstan.

Ramsey ended a five-month layoff on Saturday following hamstring surgery to make his debut for Mexican club Pumas UNAM.

‘The 34-year-old came on as a second-half substitute against Puebla, playing the final 30 minutes of a 0-0 draw.

But Bellamy has overlooked the 86-times capped midfielder - who has not played for Wales in almost 12 months - for the September 4 qualifier away to Kazakhstan and the friendly with Canada in Swansea five days later.

“He hasn't played enough football over a period,” said Bellamy, explaining Ramsey's absence.
