Ben Davies backs Wales against Holland despite absence of Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey

BEN DAVIES has backed Wales to show they can handle their doomsday scenario when they face Holland on Friday

 

The Dragons, who are preparing for their first major finals since 1958, face the Dutch without superstars Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey who are both injured.

Chris Coleman's side will hope there is no repeat of their absence once the Euro 2016 finals come around, but Tottenham defender Davies is adamant Wales can cope without the pair.

 

"We've got to be going into games like this looking to do well if we're going to do anything next summer," he said.

"We've lost two very good players but we're confident that everybody in this squad is here for a reason and we don't have any players that are here to make up the numbers.

"If they get the opportunity to play they'll do the best they can on that field. It is definitely a chance to show we're not a one-man team and that we can cope come the finals if Gareth and Aaron are not there."
