Wales manager Rob Page admitted that he "hated" seeing Tottenham Hotspur defender Joe Rodon on the bench.
The Welsh defender only managed three Premier League appearances for Spurs last season under the stewardship of Nuno Espirito Santo and Antonio Conte following the Portuguese tactician's dismissal.
His lack of game time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium saw his appearances in the English top flight cut by a quarter after he made 12 appearances the season before.
