LENS, France (Reuters) - Wales are optimistic that goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey can recover to face England in their Euro 2016 meeting on Thursday, according to coach Chris Coleman.

The experienced Hennessey was ruled out of the group B opener against Slovakia on Saturday after a back spasm in training the day before the match, opening the door for 22-year-old Danny Ward who only made his international debut in March.
