Wales boss Robert Page wants clarity over severity of Neco Williams injury
Wales boss Robert Page wants clarity over severity of Neco Williams injury
Wales boss Robert Page wants clarity from Nottingham Forest over Neco Williams’ injury ahead of next month’s Euro 2024 qualifiers. Full-back Williams was ruled out for the rest of the Premier League season after breaking his jaw against Brighton on April 26. But Forest have not put a time frame on the 22-year-old’s recovery and Page wants to know the extent of the injury before naming his squad on Tuesday for games against Armenia and Turkey. “I think there’s conversations to be had with ourselves and the club, both medical teams,” Page told BBC Wales. “The squad is going to be announced next week. “We will have conversations in the meantime and see where we are at with that before we make that decision.” Page was critical of Forest in March when Williams’ team-mate Brennan Johnson withdrew from the squad to take on Croatia and Latvia, suggesting the striker had not been given enough help to be fit for international duty. As reported by the PA news agency in March, Bournemouth forward David Brooks will be part of the summer camp after returning to action following cancer treatment. Brooks made his first start since September 2021 against Manchester United on Saturday after four substitute appearances for the Cherries this season. The 25-year-old was diagnosed with stage two Hodgkin lymphoma in October 2021 and announced he was cancer free in May 2022. “I am pleased for him because he’s had a long journey,” said Page. “I got a bit excited in March. I tried to get him on camp then because you want your best players around you. He definitely falls into that category. “We knew we had to manage it. You don’t go through what he’s gone through and not have little setbacks. “Bournemouth have been incredible with the way they have handled it and got him back up to speed. It’s great that we have got him available.” Wales made a positive start to Euro 2024 qualifying with four points from two games, drawing away to World Cup semi-finalists Croatia before beating Latvia at home.

Gareth Southgate hails on-song England’s ‘desire to keep pushing forward’
Gareth Southgate hails on-song England’s ‘desire to keep pushing forward’
Gareth Southgate believes England have “hit a sweet spot” a year out from the European Championship but says there can be no let-up as his talented, ever-improving group hunt silverware. Monday’s 7-0 annihilation of North Macedonia means it is a case of when rather than if their place at next summer’s finals in Germany is rubber-stamped. Bukayo Saka sparkled with a hat-trick at Old Trafford as England headed on the road for a home match for the first time since last June’s humbling at the hands of Hungary. The 4-0 Molineux mauling in the Nations League led fans to turn on Southgate, who took that in mind when considering his future after the World Cup. But that low, combined with the frustration of bowing out in the quarter-finals in Qatar, has helped sharpen England’s focus as they look to win next year’s Euros, having lost in the final of the previous edition on penalties. “I think when you look back at last summer, four matches, a couple of them behind closed doors, the need to rotate the squad, need to look at new players, there were a lot of circumstances as we knew at the time around those performances and results,” Southgate said of their Nations League struggles last June. “Post World Cup, I think we’ve hit a sweet spot where there’s a hunger to go further than we’ve been and a desire to keep pushing forward. “But a confidence from the matches that we’ve played and the big nights we’ve been involved with, and the ability that they know they have, so that’s a good place to be. “We have to keep pushing them now because they’ve set a standard in the last four games against different sorts of opponents, different environments, where anything can be possible. “I think they’ve been really good to watch, they’ve been exciting to watch, there’s competition for individual places, there’s competition to get in the squad. “But around all of that there’s a brilliant feel with them as a group and that is what creates a strong team. “I think the crowd have connected with that, the crowd was brilliant from before kick-off tonight.” Saka’s first career hat-trick, a Harry Kane brace and goals from Marcus Rashford and Kalvin Phillips wowed the Old Trafford crowd on Monday night. It was England’s fourth win from four Group C matches – a pool that started with an impressive 2-1 victory against Euro 2020 final foes Italy in Naples. That result set the tone for a side that has steadily built the kind of mentality that means they head into matches expecting, rather than hoping, to win. “100 per cent,” Southgate said. “That’s experiences with their club, but also as a collective because we’ve always had moments where clubs have done well. “But then how do you match that in when Declan (Rice) first played with us. I remember the Nations League semi-final with Holland, it’s the biggest game of his life, he’s still learning his trade and still learning the position. “Now he’s played a European final for us, European final for his club, big nights for us. “The experiences they have together are more important, but you can’t take out the confidence that, if you’re a European champion, as the Manchester City boys arrive here (as), then they’re carrying that into the camp as well. “But what they did, they didn’t come like a load of big shots and say, ‘We’re European champions’. “They got straight on to the training pitch, mucked in, supported the group from the side in Malta, and then they perform (against North Macedonia).” The shared experiences across multiple tournaments and qualification campaigns have also seen players’ caps quietly stack up. Despite not having any centurions, England’s starting line-up against Macedonia was their second-most experienced ever, with the combined 590 caps only beaten by 595 against Algeria in 2010. “We’ve known that accumulating caps is one thing, but accumulating big game experience is another,” said Southgate, whose most-capped player is 84-cap skipper Kane. “And also, the really pleasing thing is that we’ve got a lot of young players with a lot of caps as well. “So, it’s not that this team is just this next summer and nothing else. We want it to be sustainable for England, we want England to be challenging for as long as we can see. “That’s also an important part of what we need to do, so we have to keep bringing young players into the squad, give them a feel of what it means to play in this group and evolve the team as we go. “There’s that competition now and that drives the players. “They’ll listen to what you say as a coach, but if there are other players in your position that you know are hunting you down and after your spot, then that drives your performance.”
