Rubin Colwill's omission from Craig Bellamy's first Wales squad means Aaron Ramsey is the only Cardiff City player involved.However, Ramsey stays as captain as the new Wales era begins in the Nations League fixtures against Turkey in Cardiff on Friday, 6 September and in Montenegro three days later.Attacking midfielder Colwill was a shock inclusion in Wales’ European Championship squad three years ago.He scored his first senior Wales goal in March 2022 and went to the World Cup later that year, featuring as a substitute in the group game against England.But the Cardiff City player switched to the under-21 squad in summer 2023 and also featured for Jones’ team earlier this year.Bellamy's predecessor Rob Page recalled Colwill to his squad for June friendlies against Slovakia and Gibraltar. Colwill started in the 0-0 draw against the latter, but has not made the cut for Wales' forthcoming games.It now seems likely Colwill will be back with Wales U21s for their junior Euros qualifier in Iceland on 10 September.

ATLANTA (AP) — The body of a worker who died Tuesday in a tire explosion at a Delta Air Lines maintenance facility near the Atlanta airport was unrecognizable, and the family relied on tattoos and a lanyard to identify him, his son told a news outlet. Mirko Marweg, 58, was among two workers who died while wheel components were being disassembled for maintenance at a wheel and brake shop. A third worker was seriously injured. Marweg’s son, Andre Coleman, told Atlanta’s 11Alive news station on Tuesday that he wanted to see his father because he didn’t believe he was dead. But a medical examiner told the family the body was unrecognizable. A Mississippi State lanyard around his neck helped confirm his identity, Coleman said.

NEW YORK (AP) — A U.S. Open match that Novak Djokovic already expected to be difficult was threatening to become a toss-up as he struggled with his serve. Missing more than he made, Djokovic couldn’t get many quick points Wednesday night. He acknowledged that he should have lost the second set, and if his opponent didn’t get injured and have to stop, maybe he wouldn’t even have won that match.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Former Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin was charged Tuesday with sedition over a speech he made that allegedly questioned the integrity of the country’s previous king. Muhyiddin, who led Malaysia from March 2020 until August 2021, pleaded not guilty in a court in northeast Kelantan state. According to the charge sheet, Muhyiddin made the seditious remarks last month during a by-election campaign in Kelantan.  Nine ethnic Malay state rulers take turns as Malaysia’s king for five-year terms under the country’s rotating monarchy, which began when Malaysia gained independence from Britain in 1957. The monarchy plays a largely ceremonial role, but are revered by the nation’s majority Muslims. In his speech on Aug. 14, Muhyiddin had questioned why then-King Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah didn’t invite him to be prime minister following a hung Parliament in November 2022. Muhyiddin had claimed he had the backing of majority lawmakers.

Charlottesville, VA

Richmond at Virginia, Saturday 6 p.m. ET (ACC Network Extra) BetMGM College Football Odds: Virginia by 19 1/2. Series record: Virginia 30-3-2. Virginia coach Tony Elliott started his Charlottesville tenure with a win over Richmond two years ago. Not much has gone right since. Elliott needs to show improvement this season, and taking care of business against the Spiders would be a good start. Richmond enters the season with legitimate Football Championship Subdivision playoff aspirations after back-to-back appearances, and coach Russ Huesman knows what a signature in-state win would do for his program, both this season and on the recruiting trail.
