Rob Page embarrassed to release Aaron Ramsey against England | Gareth Bale: Every team has weaknesses | Football news

The defeat to Iran has reduced Wales’ chances of progressing to the last 16 of the 16 team like a thread, with hopes of reaching the knockout stages slipping out of hand.

Page’s side must beat England at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium on Tuesday night for a chance to advance to the round of 16, but they will also demand a draw from Iran and the US in the remaining Group B tie.
