“Warrior” – Ben Davies hails Joe Rodon after his 50th cap for Wales

Ben Davies, Joe Rodon’s defensive partner for Wales and Tottenham’s left-back, could have joined Leeds United last season had the 49ers’ interest in January come to fruition.

Delighted for his teammate, Davies took to Instagram to celebrate Rodon’s achievement, praising the “Welsh warrior” for reaching such a significant milestone in his international career.

Davies also shared a close-up image of Rodon on his post, revealing the severity of the cut the defender suffered during a head clash in the draw against Turkey.

Thankfully, what seemed like a severe cut has healed considerably, and it hasn’t hindered Rodon from delivering another stellar performance for his country.

With Rodon in top form for both club and country, Farke will be pleased.

The early part of this season raised concerns for Rodon as he struggled to find the form that earned him a permanent move to Leeds. However, he’s since been exceptional, playing a pivotal role in Leeds’ push for automatic promotion.

Rodon’s importance extends to the Wales squad as well, and the confidence boost from their victory over Iceland will surely have him and his teammates in high spirits for the upcoming matches.
