Wales coach Rob Page says he won't risk the fitness of Tottenham winger Brennan Johnson this week.

Johnson missed Saturday's victory at Luton Town due to a knock.

"The communication between us and Tottenham has been first-class. It's about having mutual respect," Page told the Daily Mail. "Both managers want a talented player fit so it's about working together.

"I'm not going to insist that he has to come away and we're going to play him, jeopardise his safety and health. I wouldn't do that. But they also understand the importance of our games."

When asked if he'd spoken to the club directly, he added: "We've had great conversations with them, but ultimately his injury will dictate whether he can meet up or not."
