Hello, what is the expected behaviour when you say "selected state of the link is not conveyed"?

Is there a recommended solution?

It should be telling screen reader users that the link is the current page. Shown visually by the colour of the active page.

See aria-current - Accessibility | MDN for more information about how to make this happen.
