Neco Williams is set to miss Wales’ final Euro 2020 warm-up game after the Dragons’ decision to agree with French wishes for VAR to be used in their Nice friendly backfired. Williams was sent off for handball after just 25 minutes of France’s 3-0 victory on Wednesday following a VAR check – the first time the system had ever been used at a Wales game. Any Wales appeal against Williams’ red card will be considered by FIFA. Former Wales defender Danny Gabbidon told Sky Sports: “I was initially surprised there was actually VAR in a friendly game. “It will be the same on Saturday, getting players on the pitch to have minutes to be ready for Switzerland.”
