James Chester: 'Wales have a bright future'

Defender James Chester says that Wales have a "very bright" future despite suffering a 2-0 defeat away in France on Friday night.

Defender James Chester has praised Ethan Ampadu and David Brooks after the pair made their Wales debuts against France on Friday night.

Goals from Antoine Griezmann and Olivier Giroud led to Wales succumbing to a 2-0 defeat in Paris, but boss Chris Coleman took the opportunity to introduce the Chelsea and Sheffield United youngsters during the second half.

Wales have now suffered back-to-back defeats without scoring a goal, but Chester says that the Dragons have a "very bright" future.

The Aston Villa centre-back told Faw.Cymru: "Firstly, massive congratulations to Ethan [Ampadu] and David [Brooks] for their debuts.

"I think they showed great composure when they came on – Ethan at the age of 17, David at 20 and Ben [Woodburn], so the future of Welsh football is very bright.

"I'm not sure what the manager will do on Tuesday, but whatever happens it will be a good game and hopefully we can get back to winning ways."

Wales play host to Panama - who have just qualified for their first World Cup - in Cardiff on Tuesday evening.
