'There's no hiding we are getting older': Gareth Bale reveals this World Cup qualifying campaign could be his last, with Wales star turning 33 before next year's tournament in Qatar

Gareth Bale admits his international career could be drawing to a close with Wales' current World Cup qualifying campaign possibly his last.

Wales play the Czech Republic in Cardiff on Tuesday seeking their first points in Group E after an opening defeat to Belgium.

Bale and company still have this summer's delayed European Championship finals to look forward to, but Tottenham's Wales captain will be 33 by the time of the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.

'I haven't really thought too much past this campaign,' said Bale, who insisted he had not been 'disrespectful' last week when outlining his end-of-season plans to see out the final year of his Real Madrid contract.
