Wales faces a significant challenge in its forward line following the withdrawal of Kieffer Moore due to injury.
The squad is preparing for a Nations League double-header against Norway and Portugal as “the Red Dragons are currently lacking depth”.
Ian Rush, a record scorer for the national side, suggested that Liverpool prospect Lewis Koumas could offer a solution for manager Craig Bellamy.
Rush praised the 21-year-old for his recent development, noting that “he has had a fantastic few months”.
While Bellamy previously indicated in June that the youngster is viewed as a centre-forward, Rush expressed some reservations about that specific role.
Despite this, the former striker emphasized the unique energy the youngster provides to the team during play.
According to “what he gives to the team is something special”, Rush added.
The veteran icon noted that the player is willing to work hard and run for the entire duration of a match.
MK Dons forward Aaron Collins has been called up to the squad to replace the injured Moore for the upcoming fixtures.
Beyond his international duties, Rush also discussed the progress of Liverpool under manager Arne Slot.
The club legend believes the team is improving as they aim to maintain their position within the top four of the Premier League.
He noted that “finishing in the top four and winning a trophy” would constitute a successful campaign.
Liverpool is currently competing in the Carabao Cup, the FA Cup, and the Champions League.
Rush remains optimistic about the club’s potential once injured players return to the lineup in January.
The team is scheduled to host Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on December 16.
