Wayne Hennessey expects to return for Wales against England

Hennessey expects to return against England

Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey has claimed that he could be back in between the sticks when the Dragons face England at Euro 2016.

The Crystal Palace stopper was ruled out of the Dragons' 2-1 Group B win over Slovakia on Saturday because of a back spasm, with Liverpool's Danny Ward taking his place.

Hennessey played down concerns over his fitness, however, telling reporters on Sunday: "It is one of those things where you go from broke to mended in about 24 hours.

"I had [a back spasm] and missed the Liverpool game at home for Crystal Palace, so I'll have an injection now and I will probably be back in 24 hours, which sounds crazy.

"It was an unsettling time for myself, but our motto is 'Together Stronger' and it is all about the boys."

Chris Coleman's side will face their British neighbours in Lens on Thursday.
