Gareth Bale was not in the squad as Los Angeles FC beat the Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS Western Conference play-off semi-finals last night (Thursday) due to a suspected leg injury just four weeks before Wales begin their World Cup campaign in Qatar against the United States.
But the Wales captain and former Tottenham favourite should be back in training very shortly according to his club manager Steve Cherundolo, whose side will now play the Western Conference play-off final on October 30.
Wales' all-time top goalscorer was signed amid great fanfare in July and LAFC supporters had high hopes for the ex-Real Madrid man, who took a reported £27 million annual pay-cut in order to make the move to the MLS.
