Ashley Williams and Kalvin Phillips were amongst those to laud Tyler Roberts on Instagram after the Leeds United star impressed on international duty with Wales on Saturday.
Roberts was handed a start as Rob Page’s men faced Albania in Cardiff.
It proved to be a frustrating day for Wales. The game ended in a goalless draw and it ended up being a very feisty encounter.
Roberts showed some flashes of his quality in the stalemate. He produced some nice runs, and threatened to create a couple of openings for the home side.
It was an encouraging performance as the Welsh prepare to try and replicate their incredible run in Euro 2016.
And following the game, many took to Instagram to laud Roberts for his display, with both Phillips and Williams praising the 23-year-old…
Leeds star Tyler Roberts could use international stage to get momentum going for next season
It looks set to be a huge season for Roberts at Elland Road. He was excellent at times during the final weeks of this past campaign.
Of course, he got his first top flight goal in the clash with Southampton. And he produced a handful of man of the match displays along the way.
Nevertheless, there are still question marks surrounding Roberts. He is arguably not a starter when Marcelo Bielsa has his strongest side available.
The quality Rodrigo Moreno brought to the team late on showed the challenge ahead for Roberts.
The Spaniard was outstanding. And Roberts has arguably not quite proved that he can really reach that level.
So this summer perhaps presents a fantastic opportunity to Roberts to prove an additional point.
If he can impress with Wales, his confidence is surely going to receive a huge boost ahead of his return to Leeds for pre-season.
