BALE DECLARED FIT TO FACE DANES
GARETH Bale has been declared fit for Wales’ crunch Nations League clash with Denmark at Cardiff City Stadium tonight.
The 29-year-old had been struggling with an ankle problem following Real Madrid’s 4-2 La
Liga defeat to
Celta Vigo on
Sunday night.
It comes after he missed Wales’ last two fixtures against Republic of Ireland and Spain in October.
But yesterday morning, Bale trained with the rest of the Wales players in a session at the home of the Bluebirds.
And Ryan Giggs revealed that Wales’ talisman is fit to start against the Danes.
“He’s good. He arrived a little bit later than the rest of the group after playing on Sunday evening. But he’s fine he’s looked good this week and he’s ready,” said the Wales manager.
“He had a little bit of a different programme earlier in the week but the last couple of days he’s been good.”
Giggs won’t be able to call upon the services of Neil Taylor or Chris Mepham who have both withdrawn from the squad due to injury this week.
But Giggs has revealed that George Thomas could be in contention to feature in the friendly with Albania next Tuesday after suffering an ankle injury last weekend.
