- The Cardiff defender is expected to miss five to six weeks.
- Wales play Norway and Portugal in November.

## Summary

Dylan Lawlor will miss Wales’ final two Nations League matches after suffering a hamstring injury playing for Cardiff City. The 20-year-old’s absence is a setback for Wales as they seek to avoid relegation from League A and improve their Euro 2028 qualifying seeding.

Cardiff head coach Brian Barry-Murphy said Lawlor is expected to be out for five to six weeks, allowing time to rehabilitate both his hamstring and a knee that has troubled him since June. Lawlor had only just returned to Cardiff’s first team, making his first start of the season against Blackburn on 10 October before being injured against Watford three days later. Wales face Norway on 14 November and Portugal in Cardiff three days afterwards.
