Wales call up MK Dons striker Aaron Collins after Kieffer Moore withdraws from Nations League squad

Wales have added uncapped MK Dons forward Aaron Collins to their squad for this month’s Nations League fixtures after Wrexham striker Kieffer Moore withdrew through injury, the Football Association confirmed on 10 November 2026. Collins joins Craig Bellamy’s panel for the concluding Group A4 matches in Norway and at home to Portugal.

Moore, 34, left the field during Wrexham’s 1-1 Championship draw with Wolves on Saturday, and Wales have not specified what kind of injury the 57-cap forward has sustained. Collins, 29, has scored 17 goals in 16 games across all competitions for League One side MK Dons this season, including a four-goal haul against Doncaster last month; he has seven goals in his past three matches and is the EFL’s joint-top goalscorer.

The Newport-born striker is uncapped at senior level and has played for 10 different — mainly lower-league — clubs since leaving Rodney Parade for Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2016. Bellamy has called him up to bolster his options as Wales complete their Group A4 campaign.

Wales travel to Oslo to face Norway on Saturday before finishing the group at home against Portugal next Tuesday. The Norway match is scheduled for Saturday, 14 November, 17:00 GMT and will be broadcast live on BBC iPlayer, BBC Two Wales, BBC Sounds, BBC Radio Wales, Radio Cymru and 5 Live Sports Extra, with coverage also on the BBC Sport website and app and live text commentary.

Wales sit third in Group A4 after four matches, their only victory coming against Norway in Cardiff last month; Norway are described in the report as World Cup quarter-finalists. Bellamy will be without midfielder Jordan James but has Harry Wilson and Joe Rodon back from Leeds and Cardiff playmaker Rubin Colwill available for selection.

Bellamy’s side could still finish second, third or fourth in the group. A top-two finish would send Wales to the Nations League quarter-finals in March 2027; finishing third would require a relegation play-off against a League B team in March, while bottom place would result in either a relegation play-off or direct relegation depending on the ranking with other League A groups.

Wales now head to Oslo for the Saturday fixture on 14 November (17:00 GMT) before hosting Portugal in their final Group A4 match next Tuesday as they seek to secure their position in the Nations League top tier.
