Wales faces a significant challenge in its upcoming Nations League fixtures due to a shortage of attacking depth.
The situation worsened after striker Kieffer Moore withdrew from the squad due to injury, according to the BBC.
As a result, MK Dons forward Aaron Collins has been called up to replace the Wrexham player, reported BBC Sport.
Liverpool legend Ian Rush suggested that Anfield prospect Lewis Koumas could offer a solution for manager Craig Bellamy.
Regarding the 21-year-old, Rush noted, “He’s had a fantastic few months.”
Although Bellamy previously stated in June that the player’s international future lies as a centre-forward, per the BBC, Rush expressed some hesitation about that specific position.
However, the former striker emphasized the unique energy the youngster brings to the pitch.
Rush explained, “I’m not sure he’s number nine, but I’ll tell you what, what he gives to the team is something special.”
The veteran added that the player provides consistent effort and can create opportunities for teammates.
Wales is scheduled to face Norway in Oslo this Saturday, followed by a home match against Portugal in Cardiff next Tuesday.
Beyond international duty, Rush also discussed the progress of Liverpool under its current management.
He believes the club is improving but must remain consistent to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League, according to reports.
Rush highlighted the importance of recovering injured players like Conor Bradley to sustain this momentum.
For the remainder of the season, the icon views a trophy win combined with a top-four league standing as a successful campaign.
The team is currently competing in the Carabao Cup, the FA Cup, and the Champions League, noted the outlets.
