Wales boss Chris Coleman: 'Real Madrid will make Gareth Bale call'

Wales boss Chris Coleman reveals that Real Madrid will have the final say on whether Gareth Bale represents his country in friendly internationals with France and Panama.

Wales boss Chris Coleman has revealed that he will take no risks with the fitness of Gareth Bale for the friendly internationals with France and Panama.

Bale has been selected in Coleman's first squads since missing out on the 2018 World Cup, despite not featuring for Real Madrid since September 26 because of a calf injury.

However, Coleman has insisted that he will only play the forward if Real are happy with their player's progress ahead of a potential return to club action after the international break.

The 47-year-old is quoted by Sky Sports News as saying: "We are in open dialogue with Real and we will be governed by what they say.

"He will be training with us because he is at a good level. If they say he can play 10 or 20 minutes then great. If they say no, then absolutely not.

"We will tell them where he is and they will get data off us every day like they always do."

Bale has scored three goals in 10 appearances for club and country this season.
