Chris Coleman confident Wales squad can reach World Cup next summer

Wales manager Chris Coleman is confident his side can win their four remaining World Cup Qualifiers and reach next summer's finals in Russia.

Wales are currently four points behind leaders Serbia and Repulic of Ireland in Group D, meaning a crucial three points are a necessity in Saturday's game against Austria, live on Sky Sports Football.

Coleman, who led his team to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 last summer, is aware of the uphill task he faces but is adamant Wales are up to the challenge, despite being without a win in their last five qualifying games.

"We can do it [win the last four games] and that's no disrespect to Austria, Moldova, Georgia and the Republic of Ireland," Coleman said.

"I know this is a statement, but I'll say it - it could be Brazil, Spain and Germany.

"I have that much confidence in our players and in our team, especially here in this [Cardiff City] stadium when it's full."

Coleman is expecting Aaron Ramsey to be a part of the team on Saturday evening after he suffered a kick to the calf in Arsenal's 4-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.

Ramsey has completed all three training sessions with the side this week; a boost Coleman needed ahead of a pair of "do-or-die" fixtures.

"These last four games are like a mini-tournament. They're do-or-die, depending on what the other results are," the Welsh boss said.

"One of us could be dropping out if it's a negative result, so I don't think either team is going into the game looking for a draw."
