Williams decision defended

Robert Page has defended the decision to let Neco Williams play on after the Wales full-back suffered a head injury against England.

Williams was dazed and fell to the floor after blocking Marcus Rashford's powerful 24th-minute shot with the top of his head.

The Nottingham Forest defender continued for another 12 minutes before being replaced by Connor Roberts in Wales' 3-0 defeat.

Brain injury charity Headway criticised the handling of the incident, saying "yet again medics are giving no options" while calling for the introduction of a temporary concussion rule.

But Wales manager Page said Williams had initially passed FIFA'S concussion test. He said: "We followed the FIFA guidelines. The FIFA doctor OK'D him to stay on the pitch, but he was advised if there was any symptoms then to flag it up straight away, and that's what he did. There was no second thoughts at all, he was off straightaway."
