Bale boost for Wales as Real Madrid star links up with squad ahead of crunch Denmark clash

Gareth Bale has given Wales a huge boost ahead of their crunch Nations League game against Denmark by training before Friday’s game.

Bale has been receiving treatment on an ankle injury suffered during Real Madrid’s 4-2 LaLiga win at Celta Vigo on Sunday.

But the 29-year-old joined up with the rest of Ryan Giggs’ squad at the Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday morning.

Injured defenders Chris Mepham and Neil Taylor have been ruled out of a game that will see the winners promoted to the top tier of the Nations League.

A Welsh victory is essential for Ireland to have any chance of avoiding relegation from Nations League B before their clash with the Danes on Monday.
