Wayne Hennessey set to return for Wales if they beat England to reach World Cup last 16

Wales expect to have goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey back from suspension if they beat England to reach the World Cup knock-out stages.

Rob Page’s men need to beat England and hope Iran and United States draw, otherwise they will need to win by at least four goals to qualify from Group B in Qatar. Hennessey is suspended for Tuesday’s huge clash, with Danny Ward set to take over in goal after their No.1’s costly sending off in the 2-0 loss against Iran.

But the Football Association of Wales believes Hennessey will only have to serve a one-game ban as he was dismissed for denying a goal scoring opportunity rather than violent conduct. Hennessey was initially booked but then red-carded after referee Mario Escobar reviewed the incident in which the 'keeper clattered into Medhi Taremi outside the box.
