Ramsey has 'no issue' with Shawcross

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has insisted that he has no problems with Stoke City defender Ryan Shawcross.

Wales boss Chris Coleman is keen to call up England-born Shawcross for the national side but is afraid that this could cause a rift in the camp with country captain Ramsey, whom Shawcross put out of action for nine months with a double leg fracture in February 2010.

However, the former Cardiff City player says that he is willing to put their differences to one side to help the Red Dragons qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

"I'm over what happened in the past and I've moved on since then. I haven't been in contact with him. I had a text off him straight after I did my leg but that was it. There is no situation," said Ramsey.

"Chris is the manager and he is the one who makes the decisions, so, ultimately, it is up to him."

Ramsey looks likely to captain Wales in their friendly against Bosnia on Wednesday evening.
