Tottenham returnee Bale out of Wales squad due to knee injury

Gareth Bale has missed out on the Wales roster for his country's upcoming three matches due to the lingering effects of a knee injury.

The Tottenham forward suffered the injury during international duty earlier this month, with Wales defeating Finland and Bulgaria in Nations League action.

Since those two matches Bale has made a high-profile move back to Spurs from Real Madrid after originally leaving the north London outfit in 2013 to join up with the Spanish giants.

The 31-year-old, however, has yet to make his debut for Jose Mourinho's side and his international boss Ryan Giggs has now confirmed that Bale is set to miss games against England, Republic of Ireland and Bulgaria.
