Concern over skipper Bale’s match fitness

Wales captain Gareth Bale has not played a full 90 minutes ever since his move to the MLS. Bale recently came as a substitute in LAFC’s final win in the MLS cup after being out with injury for two weeks. Wales fans can be cheerful as Bale has started getting into rhythm.

“Has he played as many minutes as we’d like? Probably not,” Page said of Bale. “But that doesn’t worry me. He’s proved time and time again when he puts the Welsh jersey on, irrespective of how many minutes he’s played at domestic level, he’s always produced.”

“On big occasions he’ll always turn up, thrive, and enjoy it. He’s already with the [Wales] staff, over in the country and raring to go. Gareth has proven in the past that without minutes he can deliver in important stages.”

Surprise inclusions and unexpected omissions

Rob Page had already mentioned there will be surprises in his squad selection. Luton’s defender Tom Lockyer makes it to the squad after being out of reckoning in the national set-up for more than a year. In-form Swansea winger Oli Cooper and Rangers forward Rabbi Matondo are surprise omissions.

Joe Allen who has been out of action for over two months with hamstring injury. When asked about Allen, Page said: “We’re giving him every opportunity to be fit for that first game. He’s progressing as we want him to. If he’s fit, he’s playing. He’s massive for how I play and the success we’ve had. He’s a senior lad, he’s got vast amounts of experience playing tournament football as well so he knows the game inside out and that’s invaluable. That’s why I’m throwing everything at it.”

“It’s similar to Joe Ledley probably at [Euro] 2016, when Cookie [Chris Coleman] had that scenario with an experienced lad that he wanted to go in, because he needed him as a key figure in that team. For me, it’s no different with Joe [Allen].”

No Joe Allen, no party❤️

Very happy with that Wales World Cup squad.
