Wales and Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey spoke to the media at the team’s base in Dinard on Tuesday, 48 hours before Wales play England.

Gareth Bale insists he has not been playing mind games with England – but says none of their players would get into the Wales side. The Real Madrid star was clearly enjoying himself again on Tuesday afternoon when he spoke to the media ahead of Thursday’s Euro 2016 transported derby against England.

Chris Coleman has warned England that Gareth Bale will walk the walk after talking the talk that angered their manager. Roy Hodgson claimed Bale was being “disrespectful” after the Wales talisman said England could not match their Euro 2016 group rivals for passion.

Wales fans without tickets have been advised to stay away from Lens and the Euro 2016 clash with England. Even though Wales manager Chris Coleman has voiced his sympathy for Welsh supporters who would like to make it to the French city to continue their own tournament party, the Football Association of Wales have urged them to go elsewhere.

Wayne Hennessey remains a major doubt to return to the Wales team to face England on Thursday. The Crystal Palace goalkeeper was unable to train with the rest of the squad at their Euro 2016 base on Monday and manager Chris Coleman has stressed that Tuesday will be a critical indicator of whether or not Hennessey is going to recover from his back strain.

Wayne Hennessey sat out training with Wales on Monday morning, but the goalkeeper insists he can still be fit for the England game. Hennessey was the only absentee among the squad who trained for the first time since their stunning 2-1 victory in their opening match at Euro 2016.

Aaron Ramsey says England hold no fear for Wales as the rivals gear up for the Euro 2016 battle of Britain. The Wales midfielder – his country’s most high profile Premier League player – believes victory over Slovakia has infused the team with self-belief ahead of Thursday’s clash in Lens.

Hal Robson-Kanu has had a taste of Euro 2016 glory and wants more against England – even if it puts his birth country on the brink of elimination. The Wales striker scored only his third international goal to give his adopted nation their 2-1 victory over Slovakia in Bordeaux on Sunday.

Chris Coleman gives his reaction after Wales beat Slovakia 2-1 in their opening match at Euro 2016.

A mis-hit shot by Hal Robson-Kanu earned Wales a triumphant return after 58 years away – the scuff that dreams are made of. The substitute rolled home the winner against Slovakia to earn a 2-1 victory in Wales’ opening match of Euro 2016 in Bordeaux.

Gareth Bale has accused England of believing their own hype and claimed that when it comes to passion the Three Lions are no match for the Dragon. The Wales striker will make his major international tournament finals debut on Saturday when Chris Coleman’s side open their Euro 2016 campaign against Slovakia in Bordeaux.

Chris Coleman has promised Wales will illuminate Euro 2016 with “a splash of brilliance” when they begin their first tournament campaign for 58 years on Saturday. Whether or not that comes from Gareth Bale, the Wales manager did not specify. But Coleman was in buoyant mood as he celebrated his 46th birthday in Bordeaux on the eve of his team’s first group match against Slovakia.
