Gareth Bale insists he is fully fit for Wales’ historic World Cup after admitting he was “praying” he would make it.
Skipper and record scorer Gareth Bale will spearhead Rob Page’s men after returning from recently winning the MSL Cup with Los Angeles FC. He is set to lead out Wales next Monday in Qatar against USA before further Group B games against Iran and England.
It will be Wales’ first appearance at a finals since 1958 and no-one is more determined than Bale that they seize the moment. The former Spurs and Real Madrid star, 33, has only started two games for LA and has not played a full 90 minutes for his latest club since joining this summer.
