Wales striker Kieffer Moore has been ruled out of next week's World Cup play-off semi-final against Bosnia and Herzegovina due to a tendon injury, dealing a significant blow to Craig Bellamy's side.
The 33-year-old, who sustained the injury during Wrexham's FA Cup defeat to Chelsea earlier this month, will also miss the potential play-off final on 31 March should Wales advance past Bosnia at Cardiff City Stadium on 26 March.
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson confirmed the setback, stating: 'Kieffer's not going to be right for the internationals, which is a blow for him and for Wales. He's got this tendon injury... It's one of those injuries that up to 80-85 per cent you're fine, but if you extend beyond that you're putting yourself susceptible to muscle injuries.'
Moore has been a prolific scorer for Wrexham this season, netting 13 goals in 36 appearances since his move from Sheffield United. He has earned 52 caps for Wales, scoring 15 goals, and featured at both Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup.
Bellamy's side will aim to progress through the play-offs without Moore, hoping to secure a place at this year's World Cup finals.
