Gareth Bale has been named in the Wales squad for the final two Euro 2016 qualifiers against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Andorra.

The Real Madrid winger has missed the last three games for his club with a calf injury, although he is expected to return for the Madrid derby this weekend.

Chris Coleman's side need a point from their final qualifiers to qualify for their first ever European Championship and their first major tournament since the 1958 World Cup.

Manchester City's Emyr Huws has earned a recall to the squad after impressing in his loan spell at Huddersfield Town, while fellow midfielder Jonathan Williams, who has recently joined Nottingham Forest on loan from Crystal Palace, is also back in.

Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen returns after missing the games against Cyprus and Israel with a hamstring injury, while Bournemouth's Shaun MacDonald drops out.

Wales, who currently top Group B, travel to Bosnia on October 10, before hosting Andorra three days later.
