Chris Coleman believes Wales are on the road to playing at the Millennium Stadium again if they build on their decent start to the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.

Wales top the Group B standings after following up last month's win in Andorra with an encouraging goalless draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Friday night, a qualifier played out in front of over 30,000 fans at the Cardiff City Stadium.

The crowd for Cyprus' visit on Monday night will be well below that - the Football Association of Wales are hoping a late ticket surge could take it to around the 20,000 mark on a work evening - but Coleman believes the days of playing at the Millennium Stadium again may not be too far away.

Wales have only played once at the 74,500 capacity stadium in the last five years, a 2012 World Cup qualifier against England in March 2011, and when they played Russia there in September 2009 they drew a measly crowd of 11,589.

"There's only one way we're going to get the supporters back," manager Coleman said at his press conference ahead of the Cyprus game.

"People talk about being at the Millennium Stadium again and playing in front of 75,000 people.

"You can have as many schemes as you like, get the kids in for free which is great, and do all the deals.

"But we'll get back to the Millennium Stadium when we're winning games continuously at the right end of the campaign and at the right end of a group.

"That's when it all starts happening again and we're on the road to that.

"We've lost one in seven so we're on a decent run and we've got to keep it going.

"What we've done in the last 12 to 18 months we've got to do in the next 12 to 18 months and if we do that we'll be at the right end of the campaign.

"That's when maybe 30,000 (stadium) is not big enough and that's when you go back to the Millennium.

"But that's in the future. It's all about now and we're still building and we must be doing something right because there's so much excitement and expectation."

Having lost 10 players ahead of the Bosnia draw Wales have suffered further injury misery with Jonathan Williams ruled out of the Cyprus game with a damaged ankle.

Williams was impressive against Bosnia but took some heavy knocks, notably from Roma playmaker Miralem Pjanic, and his absence could open the door for Reading's Hal Robson-Kanu to start after an impressive cameo appearance on Friday night.

The good news is that Real Madrid's Gareth Bale has shaken off a slight back injury to feature after drawing a rare blank in front of goal against Bosnia.

Asked if he was down to the bare bones in his squad, Coleman replied: "Yes, but there's enough team spirit about this group.

"Team spirit doesn't win you games, but without it you don't win games either.

"You need it and we've got it, there's a lot of courage in this group and we're positive going into this game."

And Coleman is not expecting an easy ride against a Cyprus side who shocked Bosnia in their opening qualifier with a 2-1 away win but lost at home to Israel by the same scoreline on Friday night.

"This will be a harder game (than Bosnia) because Cyprus are not going to come here and lie down for us," Coleman said.

"At times it might not be pretty but all we need is the result, we've got to get the three points and if we do that the draw on Friday is magnificent.

"But whatever we get against the Cypriots we have to work hard for because they're a proud nation and they'll put it on the line.

"But the big prize is sitting top of the group going to Belgium next month and that's got to be worth it."
