Stoke veteran Allen: Fearless Wales youngsters can cause Euro upset

Stoke City midfielder Joe Allen believes a "fearless" generation of new players can fire Wales to success at Euro 2020.

Allen, 31, is one of eight players in the 26-man squad who helped Wales reach the Euro 2016 semi-finals.

Manchester United winger Daniel James and Tottenham centre-back Joe Rodon are among the young additions hoping to inspire Wales this summer.

"They want to make their mark and show what they can do and showcase their talent," Allen told BBC Sport Wales.

"That is one of the great strengths they have. They are fearless.

"They are hungry and ambitious to do well and they are really, really keen to show that, and I am confident they are going to do just that as well."
