Chris Coleman has promised it will not be the end of the road for his Wales side if they are eliminated from Euro 2016 on Monday night.

Wales' fate in France will be determined when they meet Russia in Toulouse as Group B leaders England play Slovakia in St Etienne.

Coleman's side could end up as group winners if they beat Russia and England lose to Slovakia.

A point should also secure their place in the last 16, and they could even qualify as a best third-placed team if they lost and results were favourable elsewhere.

But defeat could send them home and manager Coleman said: "Everybody will look at this as the be-all and end-all.

"Whether we progress or we don't, it's not the end of the journey for this team.

"This team has got the potential to go on and on, there's more to come from these players in the future."

Coleman said Wales had learned from their first experience of a major tournament for 58 years.

He said it would put them in good stead ahead of the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign, which starts in September.

"Nobody wants this tournament to end," said Coleman.

"This is our first taste of major tournament football, it's amazing, it's fantastic. It's tough... relentless.

"Whenever it is our time to go home, the team will take so much from this.

"Playing against the best teams in Europe, to get anything you have to be at your maximum - physically, mentally, technically, tactically. Pushing yourself to the limit.

"This group can't lose, we will go home whenever that time is with so much experience.

"Normally we are a bounce team - someone to practice against - but not any more, and it is still not over for us."

Coleman said Wales had managed to "box off" Thursday's defeat to England, in which Daniel Sturridge scored in the final seconds to inflict a 2-1 defeat.

But he said the objective was not to play for a draw against Russia, which could see them finish second in the group and set up a last-16 date with the runners-up in Group F.

"There are so many different scenarios - can you get through with three points, does four points guarantee you?" said Coleman.

"All we know our fate is in our hands if we win the game, we're matter through no matter what.

"If you worry too much what you do is lose your focus. What you must do is take care of our own business.

"We did that to get here, did that to put us in a position to progress, and we've got to do the same tomorrow."

Russia have targeted Gareth Bale as Wales' danger man, but coach Leonid Slutsky says he will resist the temptation to man-mark the Real Madrid forward who has already scored twice at Euro 2016.

"It is hard to man-mark footballing superstars," said Slutsky, who identified Bale and Aaron Ramsey as the major obstacles to Russia reaching the last 16.

"Bale does does like to roam into different areas of the pitch, so we will try to neutralise his threat zonally.

"The Welsh national side have two top stars, two top players, and their attacking play is built on the interactions of these two players.

"But they have a decent side and play a bit more on the break.

"What their two matches so far tell us is that the game will be tight, fine margins will again decide the result and I hope they will fall for us."
