Arsenal midfielder Ramsey urges Wales to focus on Belgium

Wales have the chance to stake their claim for two major tournaments with a win over Belgium on Friday night.


The Dragons will be in the driver's seat for Euro2016 if they can move three points clear of the Rode Duivels at the top of Group B courtesy of a victory in Cardiff.

A win would also put Wales in pot one ahead of the qualifying draw for the 2018 World Cup in Russia which takes place in July, placing even more pressure on the fixture.

But Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey feels it would be careless of the Welsh team to worry too much about the outcome, urging his teammates to simply focus on the job at hand.

"Being top seeds would be an amazing achievement and gives us a better chance to qualify for that tournament," said Ramsey.

"But we have to concentrate on our own performance first and the result and that will take care of itself."
