Nottingham Forest have been handed an injury worry over full-back Neco Williams in the crunch World Cup game for Wales against England.
The defender was named in the starting XI for the third game in a row in the tournament as Wales need a win in order to have a chance of booking their place in the last 16. It comes after he revealed that he played the first game despite finding out about the death of his grandfather less than 24 hours before.
Wales picked up a 1-1 draw against the USA before falling to a 2-0 defeat against Iran in their last outing. Those results meant that Wales need all three points against the Three Lions.

Williams was part of a defence trying to keep the likes of Marcus Rashford, Phil Foden and Harry Kane quiet, the full-back had a busy time in the opening part of the game. But he was knocked down when a thunderous effort from Rashford hit him on the head.
The Forest man required treatment from the Wales physios, but did continue. He, however, went down a few minutes later, with the decision to be taken off taken out of his hands by the doctor.
It is thought that he was substituted as a precaution with Wales using a concussion substitute to replace the Forest full-back. Should Wales not go through to the final 16, he is likely to return to his club to continue any treatment needed.
If it is concussion, then Williams is likely to be fit to return for Forest when they take on Blackburn Rovers in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, December 21.
