Wales will be without captain Aaron Ramsey, his midfield colleague Ethan Ampadu and winger Daniel James due to injury.

In the absence of Cardiff City midfielder Ramsey, Tottenham defender Ben Davies will captain Wales again.

Bellamy has been able to bolster his attacking options with the return of Bournemouth playmaker David Brooks and Ipswich Town duo Nathan Broadhead and Wes Burns.

The head coach has also recalled Joe Allen after the experienced Swansea City midfielder came out of international retirement.

However, Allen, who has not played a game for his club this season due to fitness problems, will not be present for the matchday 23 game in Iceland.

His Swans teammate Ollie Cooper could make his second straight Wales start in Reykjavik after making his first appearance in Montenegro last month.

Former Tottenham and Swansea midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson is questionable for Iceland having missed the last two games for his Icelandic club Valur.

Meanwhile, Fiorentina striker Albert Gudmundsson was cleared of sexual assault charges in Reykjavik on Thursday and is now eligible to play for the national team.

The 27-year-old has not played for Iceland since their goal defeat in the Euro 2024 play-off final against Ukraine in March.

Hareide said he did not know whether it would be possible for Gudmundsson to face Wales, with Turkey's visit to Reykjavik on Monday a more realistic date for his possible return.
