Wales boss Robert Page sends message to Antonio Conte after Tottenham defenders shine

Wales boss Robert Page has given his honest verdict of Joe Rodon, after Wales' 2-1 victory over Austria on Thursday, as they moved to within one game of qualifying for the World Cup finals in Qatar, as well as giving an update on Ben Davies' return to N17. The Tottenham duo both played 90 minutes in their country's first match of the international break.

Rodon produced a solid display, making 17 clearances, winning all of his aerial duels and blocking three shots. Davies also played a good game on the left of a back three, but this isn't the case for both of them when they are playing for Spurs.

Whilst the 28-year-old is playing regularly, alongside Eric Dier and Cristian Romero, Rodon is struggling for game time and has made just eight appearances in all competitions for Tottenham so far this season. Questions are being raised as to why, especially as Harry Winks and Pierluigi Gollini have both recently admitted that the defender is one of the last on the training pitch.
