Aaron Ramsey, the injury-plagued Wales captain, has no plans to retire just yet. Despite being left out of Robert Page’s squad for the upcoming friendlies with Gibraltar and Slovakia, the 33-year-old remains passionate about the game. Ramsey, who played only 15 times last season, was benched for the Euro 2024 play-off final against Poland due to a lack of match action.

Wales boss Robert Page confirmed that Ramsey is focusing on getting fit for pre-season with Cardiff, where he has one year left on his contract. Page emphasized Ramsey’s enduring passion for football, stating, “Aaron loves the game and lives for it. He will give it everything and give himself the best opportunity to continue playing.”

Ramsey, with 84 caps, aims to return for the Nations League in September and potentially play in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Despite his struggles with fitness last year, both Ramsey and Page are optimistic about his future. Meanwhile, veteran goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey, 37, is out with an Achilles injury, while Liverpool’s Lewis Koumas, 18, and other young talents have been included in the squad.
