Did not train with the first team and will likely miss tomorrow's game.
Been in incredible form for Arsenal and we could really do with an in form Ramsey to start our campaign off perfectly.

Allen - Smith
Wilson - Brooks - A.N. Other
Bale
Or put Bale on the right with Roberts up front, and maybe Wilson on the left? Whatever the lineup, have Brooks playing being the striker.
James on the left, Brooks on the right, Bale at 9 and Wilson at 10.
Brooks and Wilson alternating
Wilson plays right for Derby and Brooks plays central for Bournemouth. Brooks is good down the middle, dare I say better than Ramsey cos he can also defend?
Slovakia picked up a good win over Hungary in their first game and so we'll probably have an advantage in terms of fitness, but we could really do with an in form Ramsey - think Bale really needs to come to the party if Rambo does miss out.

Ramsey has withdrawn from the squad and will return to Arsenal for treatment
Seriously?Wilson plays right for Derby and Brooks plays central for Bournemouth. Brooks is good down the middle, dare I say better than Ramsey cos he can also defend?
Just confirmed that he’s out.
He has just been awarded senior Welsh player of the year, and he's not bad down the middle for Bournemouth. I've seen most of his games this season, and he almost single-handedly destroyed Sarriball. Besides that, Ramsey hasn't been the most consistent for Wales lately, and I think Brooks tracks back and does the tackles and interceptions in his own half better. On form alone when playing for Wales, I would say Brooks has shaded it over the past half-a-dozen games, hence his recent awards.
Hi Gluey, I've missed you and your... being wrong all of the time.Wilson plays right for Derby and Brooks plays central for Bournemouth. Brooks is good down the middle, dare I say better than Ramsey cos he can also defend?
Wilson has played centrally far more than Brooks has this season. I can't believe that you didn't know that, to be honest.
Wilson has always played on the right hand side in the games I have watched. So are you here to share some opinions of your own, or do you just want to pick holes in what other people say like you always do? If you are going to be a knobhead again I will block you cos I don't like idiots. Cheers
Brooks has played the majority of his games for Bounemouth on the right wing cutting inside and has done very well there, with all but one of his goals coming from that position
He's done well this season, but he isn't better than Ramsey.
Ramsey hasn't been brilliant for Wales lately, and in some games he has even underperformed. If he was doing so great, he would have picked up the player of the year award himself.
I thought I was already blocked... What's going on?Wilson has always played on the right hand side in the games I have watched.

In the immortal words of Alan Partridge, "Stop gettingBondeverything wrong!" and you wouldn't be corrected so often.
I'd play Wilson centrally as he's played there far more often this season than Brooks - who I would play on the right as he's played there 80-plus-percent of the time this season (and where he's played best for Wales).
I'd go with the same forward line-up as Zenith has posted.
BTW, Brooks started the season on the right wing, as you would expect from any rookie in the Premier League, but once he found his feet Howe started playing him down the middle. He is a natural 10, with great vision and incisive passing. He won't be at Bournemouth for long.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt after you mentioned your previous medical history.
He's played 8 games down the middle for Bournemouth this season and 17 on the right, where he's done best. Wilson on the other hand has payed 16 times down the middle for Derby.
With Ramsey out we'll need the 3 who line up (presumably behind Bale) to switch positions at times in the match which I think they're more than capable of doing.
I know you like Brooks, but a decent season at Bournemouth doesn't put him ahead of Ramsey, who's one of the best midfielders Wales has ever produced, the move to Juventus shows his lass and how highly thought of he his
Having Ramsey also gives the likes of Brooks and Wilson more freedom as teams are likely to focus more on Bale and Ramsey, giving the talented youngsters more space. We all want these kids to develop well and they will, but its way too early to start moving on from the likes of Aaron Ramsey
Brooks has been better than Ramsey over the past 6 games for Wales
Brooks is a No.10, anybody who knows about football can see that
The reason we didn't qualify for the World Cup is because Aaron Ramsey missed the first three games and wasn't fully fit for the fourth (against Serbia) where we picked up just 6 points from the opening 4 games which included home games against Serbia and GeorgiaBrooks has been better than Ramsey over the past 6 games for Wales
Bale and Ramsey were only on the pitch together in 4 games, Ireland away, Serbia home, Moldova away and Austria home and in the two key games (Ireland and Serbia, one of the two weren't fully fit)
Ramsey was instrumental in dragging us through to a draw away in Serbia and the win out in Georgia, two results that meant we could actually still qualify against Ireland where it all went to pieces because after Allen went off he had nobody around him to bring the ball out of defence forcing him to go deeper and deeper to collect the ball to drive upfield
I'm talking about the brilliant Ramsey and Bale from the Euro 2016 finals. We haven't seen much of that kind of quality on a regular basis since then. In a way we are lucky the youngsters are coming through, otherwise we would be struggling, but we still need Bale and Ramsey at their very best if we are to make it through the to the finals again.
Wilson played the majority of games through the middle since November for Derby so won't be alien. Would prefer Brooks down the wing because of his pace.Wilson plays right for Derby and Brooks plays central for Bournemouth.

Agreed. Bags of pace within this group. Presuamably it will be Smith and Allen in central midfield. Big game this. Lose and Slovakia are already six points clear of us with Croatia away next for us. Crazy to say already but this is a must not lose game.
Coming with my son to the game. I had bought a ticket for my dad who is 91 but he suffered a stroke last week and us too weak to attend
Brooks is very good on the wing, but he's even better playing central because of his vision and passing ability, and he's also got an eye for goal in open play. If you watch the video above, he likes to drift left too, and he is very dangerous there.
