'Neco is devastated in there': Wales manager Robert Page vows to fight Williams' red card against France... as harsh handball call will see him miss Euro 2020 warm-up game against Albania on Saturday

Robert Page has promised Wales will do everything possible to overturn the red card that looks set to rule Neco Williams out of their final Euro 2020 warm-up game.

Williams was left 'devastated', according to interim manager Page, after being sent off in the 26th minute of Wales' 3-0 friendly defeat to France in Nice.

The Liverpool full-back was only a few yards away from Karim Benzema when he blocked the Real Madrid striker's close-range shot with both arms away from his body.

After a lengthy VAR check, Portuguese referee Luis Godinho considered it deliberate handball and brandished a red card to the bemused Williams.
