HARRY WILSON admits Wales dare not go to Rome in their final group game needing to beat Italy to progress.

After their clash with Turkey tomorrow in Baku, Wales must travel 2,000 miles to play Italy, who. smashed the Turks 3-0 in Rome in the opening match.

Winger Wilson said of Wales’ 1-1 draw with the Swiss in their first match: “We got a point, which I think will prove a good point. The first game of the tournament is a must-not lose.

“We all watched Turkey’s game against Italy, which was a difficult game because the Italians looked strong. There is definitely more pressure on the Turkey game than there would be if we had won the other day.

“If we can beat Turkey it would put us in a really good position to progress.

“We all saw what a strong team the Italians look, that is going to be difficult in Rome.

“But if we can go there with four points on the board it puts us in a fantastic position to get through the group.

“If you asked any defender in the world, I don’t think they would want to come out and face Kieffer Moore.”
