"?Wales' first choice goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey is confident that he will be back fit in time to face England on Thursday, insisting that it's a 'massive game.'
Speaking to Goal.com, Hennessey explained that the back spasm he suffered in training, which led to him sitting out his team's 2-1 victory over Slovakia, isn't something new to him:
"I had one when I missed the Liverpool game for Crystal Palace, I had an exact similar one. So I'll have an injection now and I'll probably be back in 24 hours, which sounds crazy!
"It just happens every so often, it's quite common. It's just one of those things, it's a quick turnaround that you go from broken to mended in about 24 hours."
Despite admitting to feeling disappointed and upset at missing out on playing in Wales' first opening game to an international tournament since 1958, Hennessey suggested that his main concern was with his team mates winning those crucial three points on Saturday:
"When I woke up this morning my back seized up and I couldn't even put my own socks and trainers on.
"It was an upsetting time for myself, but our motto is "?Together Stronger' and it's all about the boys."
"It's massive to get off to a good start, which we have. The boys looked comfortable and I'm really pleased for them and we go into England now with three points on the board, which is good."
Leading up to the clash with their rivals England in Lens, the 29-year-old has also suggested that a good result against 'Roy's boy's' will put them in a great position for topping group B, and progressing in the competition:
"It's a massive game and a massive occasion for us.
"I'm buzzing for the boys and everything. This result is massive for Wales and I just hope now that we have no problems and everyone's fit and healthy going into the game against England strong."?
