Wales coach Robert Page seemingly has just one job to do before sending his team out to play Poland in Tuesday's playoff final for a place at the European Championship. It's not coming up with a plan to stop Robert Lewandowski. A more urgent focus is keeping one of Wales' key defenders away from a razor. Wales right back Connor Roberts said he has never lost a game at club level while he has sported a mustache. His first unbeaten run came last season with Burnley as the team cruised to promotion from the second-tier Championship. He is repeating the feat now he has dropped down to the same division to play for Leeds. Page says of Roberts' mustache: "He'll be keeping it."
