Nottingham Forest star left ‘chasing shadows’ as World Cup performances rated

Nottingham Forest will have three players returning early from the World Cup after Wales crashed out of the tournament at the group stage.

Neco Williams, Brennan Johnson and Wayne Hennessey were all part of Rob Page’s squad who made history by being the first Wales team to compete in the finals of the competition since 1958. But the team’s time in Qatar came to an end earlier than they may have hoped.

After a draw against the USA and a loss to Iran, Wales knew that only a win over England would see them progress to the last 16. Hennessey was forced to sit out the game due to suspension after his red card vs Iran, but Williams was named in the starting line up, while Johnson was on the bench.
