While no details of the breach was given, Leeds United's Roberts took to Instagram to apologise for breaking curfew.

"Gutted to be leaving the camp early, but rules are rules and I shouldn't have been up in the hotel later than the set time.

"Sorry to the team, staff and Wales fans. I will continue to work as hard as I can to earn my place in the squad for the Euros," he wrote. The story, however, was later deleted.
