Neil Taylor: 'Wales boosted by Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen return'

Neil Taylor says that the return of midfielders Aaron Ramsey and Joe Allen to the Wales squad has given the side a "big boost" ahead of the trip to face Belgium.

Wales defender Neil Taylor has claimed that his side will travel to face Belgium full of confidence as they go in search of "bonus points" in Brussels.

The Dragons currently top the Group B standings after three games, although they face their toughest test yet this weekend when taking on favourites Belgium at the King Baudouin Stadium.

However, Wales have been boosted by the return to fitness of Joe Allen and Aaron Ramsey, both of whom missed last month's home double-header against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Cyprus, while Gareth Bale has also overcome injury in time to be named among the travelling party.

"We have Aaron and Joe back which is a big boost for us and every time we meet up, no matter who is there, people have stepped up for us," Sky Sports News quotes Taylor as saying. "But you do miss players of that quality, they are two massive players and we know we can hurt teams when we have them in our team. "

"We have done well in the opening games and feel we can go there and have a real go at getting what would be some bonus points. If we can, that would be brilliant. They are favourites to win the group so to get anything there would be a good result."

The two sides played out a 1-1 draw when they last met 12 months ago.
