Pepe holds no fear, insists Robson-Kanu

Wales forward Hal Robson-Kanu is "relishing" the chance to go up against Portugal's Pepe in the semi-finals of Euro 2016 - provided the defender is fit to feature in Lyon.

Recalled to the starting XI for the quarter-final against Belgium, the former Reading forward scored a superb individual goal - complete with Cruyff turn - to help Wales record a famous 3-1 win in Lille.

He could be set to do battle with Champions League winner Pepe in the last four of the tournament, so long as the Portugal player overcomes a thigh injury in time.

"I don't know how much he will be looking forward to playing against me," he said.

"With what I do for the team my job will be to occupy him and to effect the game in that way.

"He is a world-class player, he knows what he is doing. But it holds no fear and I am relishing the game.

"Portugal hold a bit of a high line and there will probably be a lot more space in behind. He will probably be hopefully seeing the back of my number a fair few times chasing after me.

"There will be duels all over the pitch and it is about coming out on top and hopefully we can do that."
