Wales defender Rodon admits no contact with Spurs pal Hojbjerg ahead of Denmark showdown

Wales defender Joe Rodon says he hasn't spoken to Tottenham teammate Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg during the Euros.

Wales will meet Hojbjerg's Denmark in the round of 16.

And Rodon knows the knock-out stages will require a different level of focus and ruthlessness ahead of Saturday's clash in Amsterdam against Denmark and Hojbjerg.

He admitted: “We have not spoken.

“I don't plan to. Him being a team-mate, it is great for us both to be in the last 16.

“But we have said we'll keep each other apart.

“I am sure I will speak to him after the game.

“Now it is all heads on the weekend and it is getting to work.

“I can't wait to get started."
