' INJURY NEWS WALES V MOLDOVA '
Monday 5th September 2016
Wales have some issues to resolve in the centre of the park as they are set to be without three midfielders against Moldova.
Chris Coleman branded Aaron Ramsey 'almost irreplaceable' after the Arsenal star was left out of the squad due to a hamstring injury.
Aaron Ramsey picked up an injury on the first day of the season while playing for Arsenal.
Jonny Williams is also missing after an ankle operation has meant he is likely to miss Wales' first three qualifiers.
David Edwards is the third absentee in the Welsh midfield, after he withdrew from the squad with a slight knock.
Moldova arrive with a squad of largely unknown players.
One name in the Moldovan line-up that may be familiar to Welsh fans is midfielder Artur Ionita.
Ionita had been linked with a move to Swansea City earlier this summer - but moved to Cagliari in Serie A instead.
If Moldova are to pull off a shock, Ionita will undoubtedly have to play his part.
