Tottenham defender Ben Davies withdraws from Wales squad due to injury

Tottenham left-back Ben Davies has withdrawn from the Wales squad for the March internationals. Davies was initially named vice-captain by Rob Page for his side's clashes against Croatia and Latvia, but the 29-year-old will no longer join up with the camp after picking up an injury in Spurs' 3-3 draw at Southampton on Saturday.

After falling to the ground holding his right leg, Davies appeared to receive treatment on his hamstring. Although he did not seem to be in too much discomfort, the defender was ultimately substituted in the 37th minute and replaced by Ivan Perisic.

The upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers are set to come too soon for Davies, who was replaced in the squad by uncapped Stoke defender Morgan Fox. He will now spend the next fortnight recovering from the issue, with it remaining unclear whether he could be in contention to return for Spurs' next match against Everton at the start of April.
