Bellamy bemoans new schedule after Denmark loss
Craig Bellamy's Wales have won one of their eight matches in 2026
Craig Bellamy suggested the new four-match international window had counted against Wales after Sunday's Nations League defeat against Denmark.
His side failed to build on Thursday's win over Norway as they were deservedly beaten thanks to a second-half Rasmus Hojlund penalty.
It was a third loss in four games played inside 10 days as part of the newly elongated international break.
Head coach Bellamy said his injury-hit squad paid the price for the heavy workload he feels benefits the bigger nations and "puts a real stress" on countries like Wales.
"Physically, I completely agree with the ones who don't like [the new window]. It makes no sense," he added.
"Four games at this type of level… for the other nations, we know who they are because I was in the room when they all voted for it.
"I was one of the ones who wasn't [voting for it], because we know it's a complete disadvantage to us."
Traditionally, international sides have played six games across three windows - all of which have featured two fixtures - in September, October and November.
But for the first time this year, the September and October breaks were merged.
