Wrexham’s Moore to miss Wales’ World Cup play-offsImage source, Rex FeaturesImage caption, Kieffer Moore has made 52 appearances for Wales, scoring 15 goalsByDafydd PritchardBBC Sport WalesPublished50 minutes agoWrexham striker Kieffer Moore has been ruled out of Wales’ World Cup play-offs with a hamstring injury.
The 33-year-old had been a major doubt since sustaining a tendon split during the FA Cup defeat against Chelsea earlier this month.
Having missed subsequent Championship matches against Hull City and Swansea City, Moore is not expected to return to action until April.
That means he will be unavailable for Wales’ World Cup play-off semi-final against Bosnia-Herzegovina on 26 March and, if they win that game, their play-off final against Italy or Northern Ireland five days later.
“Kieffer’s not going to be right for the internationals, which is a blow for him and for Wales,” mentioned Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson.
“He’s got this tendon injury which he feels OK with, but he’s shown up on the scan and it’s one of those injuries that, up to 80-85% you’re fine, but if you extend beyond that you make yourself susceptible to muscle injuries.”
