2016-07-01 22:03:00 from:SNTV

Wales captain Ashley Williams will be available for what head coach Chris Coleman called the country's biggest game in 58 years when they face Belgium in the Euro 2016 quarter-finals on Friday (1st July).

SOUNDBITE (English) Chris Coleman, Wales head coach

(on how big of a match this will be for Wales):

"We've experienced the other pressure which is tough. A lot tougher than this pressure, I can promise you that. We can say since 1958 quarterfinal you have to put this down as the biggest game our country has ever been involved in which is a great place to be. A great pressure to have."

SOUNDBITE (English) Ashley Williams, Wales captain

(on his shoulder injury):

"It was hurting a lot at the end of the game, but a lot of credit goes to the medical staff. They've done a great job on me. I've trained in all the training sessions this week so it's in good shape and I'm sure it will be fine for tomorrow."

SOUNDBITE (English) Chris Coleman, Wales head coach

(on captain Ashley Williams):

"The man on my right has never ever disappointed me on or off the pitch. He's a big credit, he's a captain for his club and country. To be captain for this team I know it's a big honour for him. He's worn the armband with pride, passion. You see the way he played last week, we wanted to take him off the pitch and there's no interest from him to come off the pitch and that's what you want from your players."
