Wales manager Rob Page said it was 'risk vs reward' when he made the decision to leave Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey and Joe Allen out of the game against Poland.

"The biggest game we've got is on Sunday and that's no disrespect to Poland whatsoever," said Page. "We're going to show them complete respect, but we'd be mad to jeopardise our top, top players."
