The winners of this play-off path will secure their place at the World Cup, where they will be in Group B alongside co-hosts Canada, Switzerland and Qatar.
If Wales get there, it looks increasingly like they will be without Ramsey.
The playmaker has enjoyed a glittering international career, the highlight being the starring role he played as Wales reached the Euro 2016 semi-finals, earning himself a place in Uefa’s team of the tournament.
Ramsey has also excelled at the highest level in club football, spending more than a decade at Arsenal, for whom he scored winning goals in two FA Cup finals.
In Ramsey’s absence, Davies has worn the armband for Wales but, as the Spurs defender is injured, Fulham attacking midfielder Harry Wilson is likely to skipper the team against Bosnia.
Wilson led Wales for the first time in November, scoring a hat-trick in the 7-1 thrashing of North Macedonia to secure home advantage for their World Cup play-off semi-final.
Davies is facing a lengthy lay-off with a broken ankle, while Moore and Mepham are ruled out with hamstring injuries.
There is no place in the squad for Ashley Phillips, the Spurs defender on loan at Stoke City who Wales are hoping will switch allegiance from England to play for them.
“We always look at dual nationalities,” said Bellamy. “They’ve been so good for us over a number of years.
“It [Phillips situation] is not for now but we’re always active on it. We have to be. That’s for another time.”
