Wales coach Page: We can beat Turkey

Wales coach Rob Page insists they're capable of beating Turkey in their Euro qualifier after their draw in Armenia.

To reach Euro20204, Wales must now Group D leaders Turkey in Cardiff on Tuesday and hope Croatia do not win at home to Armenia. However, Wales can still reach the tournament through the playoffs.

"Unfortunately it's now out of our control," said Page.

"With a win, we'd all have been buzzing and looking forward to the game on Tuesday and a [further] win would have seen us qualify.

"It's not materialised as we'd like but that's life and we have to get on with it.

"It's about building momentum and, if it's a play-off in March, it's a play-off in March. If results go for us, we've still got an opportunity to qualify [automatically].

"We can only control what we can do, get the players in the right frame of mind, mentally and physically ready for Tuesday."
