The midfielder was forced off after showing clear signs of discomfort, clutching the back of his leg before receiving medical attention on the pitch. Early indications suggest a problem around the Achilles area, though the full extent of the injury has yet to be confirmed.

Wales’ medical staff acted swiftly, escorting James for further assessment as the team now awaits a detailed diagnosis. Given the nature of Achilles injuries, there will be understandable caution surrounding his recovery timeline.

This development comes as a potential blow for both club and country, with James having grown into an increasingly influential figure. His energy and composure in midfield have been key assets, making any prolonged absence a significant setback.

There has been no official statement yet regarding how long he could be sidelined, but further updates are expected once scans are completed. In the meantime, Wales will be hoping the injury is not as serious as initially feared.

For now, all attention remains on James’ condition, with supporters anxiously awaiting clearer news on his fitness and availability in the weeks ahead.
