Wales centre-back Joe Rodon is far too young to remember the one and only time his country played at a World Cup, 64 years ago.
Wales return left family in tears, says Rodon

The 25-year-old defender, on loan at Rennes from Tottenham, is set to start on Monday as Wales appear in the tournament for the first time since 1958 when they face the United States in Doha.

Rob Page's side reached the finals with a play-off victory over Ukraine in Cardiff in June.

"I think the emotions that were shown that day in Cardiff, especially at home with all the fans, hit every player," Rodon said.

"It was such a long journey. My parents and all my family were crying after the game so I could see how much it meant to them."
