Real Madrid not making Bale demands, insists Coleman

Real Madrid star Gareth Bale is free to play for as long as Wales wants to use him against Andorra, Chris Coleman says.

Wales is free to use Gareth Bale as much as it wants in its final Euro 2016 qualifier against Andorra on Tuesday, Chris Coleman has insisted.

Despite losing 2-0 away to Bosnia-Herzegovina on Saturday, Wales sealed qualification to the tournament in France next year thanks to Israel's surprise home defeat to Cyprus.

Bale's club Real Madrid has already seen Karim Benzema and Luka Modric suffer injuries during the international break, but the Wales manager denied reports the Santiago Bernabeu side was angry at the prospect of the star forward's inclusion for the final match at home to Andorra in Cardiff.
