Nottingham Forest's Neco Williams hits back at ex-player who brands Wales v England decision 'pathetic'

The Wales defender instinctively put his head in the way of a thunderous shot from Marcus Rashford in the 23rd minute before receiving medical attention. He was subsequently pulled in the 35th minute and was replaced by Burnley defender Connor Roberts.

The FIFA mantra pertaining to concussion is 'Suspect and Protect', which is designed to minimise the impact of brain injuries.
