Luis Enrique showers praise on Leeds United striker Tyler Roberts

Luis Enrique has showered praise on Leeds United striker Tyler Roberts ahead of Spain’s clash against Wales on Thursday night.

The Spain national team boss has earmarked the Leeds United striker as the one to watch out for in the absence of Gareth Bale, who was ruled out of the friendly match with a groin problem.

“It seems a sensible move due to the injuries he (Bale) has had, but it is a positive for Spain,” Enrique said, as quoted by Wales Online.

“We have analysed Wales with Bale in the team, and he has great speed, but it does not change anything for us.
