Bournemouth defender Mepham: Wales players behind Page

Bournemouth defender Chris Mepham has jumped to the defence of Wales coach Rob Page.

Wales lost to Armenia and Turkey in this week's Euro 2024 qualifiers.

Asked if the players were fully behind Page, Mepham replied: “100 per cent. He's someone I really admire.

“He brought me into the Wales set-up in the first place and I'll make sure I give everything I can for him.

“On the flip side, it is a results business, but we've also played a lot of tough teams – Belgium twice and Netherlands twice in this run – and we're mixing it with the very best.

“We know we need to do better and we'll definitely be looking at ways to do that. We believe we can turn it around."
