Wales caretaker coach Rob Page admits an injury to Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey is more serious than expected.

Page was speaking after their World Cup qualifying defeat to Belgium.

“As we said in the last press conference, we are disappointed because we hoped to have Ramsey with us," he said.

“From the exams, Ramsey's injury is more serious than we initially thought. We just weren't meant to have him available for the match, even if of course you always want the best, and he is one of them.

“In the past he helped us in important matches, but unfortunately, this time he can't be with us. But maybe other players will have the opportunity to show off in view of the European Championships."
