Gareth Bale has been left out of the Wales squad for next month’s clash with England due to a knee injury sustained during the last international break.
The forward, who has recently returned to Tottenham on loan from Real Madrid, was not deemed fit enough to be included by Ryan Giggs in the squad for the friendly at Wembley on October 8, or the Nations League fixtures in Ireland on October 11 and Bulgaria on October 14.
Bale did the damage during Wales’ 1-0 win in Finland on September 3, yet felt the pain only in the win over Bulgaria three days later, and has not trained since.
