Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward admits he's been frustrated at Leicester City.

Ward is Wales' newest hero after an outstanding performance in goal earned a 1-1 draw for his nation in their Euro 2020 opener against Switzerland on Saturday.

But since his £12m move from Liverpool three years ago, Ward has played just 14 games for City, and is still waiting for a league debut.

“It is difficult because ultimately goalkeepers are no different to outfield players – everyone wants to play," he said.

“People get into football to play football. My dilemma at Leicester has been that Kasper Schmeichel has been brilliant for a number of seasons I've been there. So I can have no complaints. It's part and parcel of being a goalkeeper.

“Everyone wants to play but there's only one shirt at the end of the day and sometimes you have to swallow your medicine and keep working hard and hope that you will get a chance."
