How do Wales cope without Gareth Bale?

The Dragons may have to make do without their main man

Wales play Spain and Ireland this week but they could be without Gareth Bale for the double header.

The Real Madrid star has been in electrifying form this season, notching four goals and adding another three assists in all competition.

However the 29-year-old was taken off against Alaves last weekend with a recurrence of a groin injury.

Welsh team-mate Sam Vokes is adamant they have the squad capable of filling the void, so the Coral News Team take a look at who could step up and be counted…

Aaron Ramsey

If Gareth Bale is the first name that springs to mind when the Wales national team is mentioned, then Aaron Ramsey isn’t too far behind.

Ryan Giggs has said he could play for any club, anywhere in the world and would be an asset. The 27-year-old finished off a scintillating team move for Arsenal against Fulham last weekend to add to his impressive scrapbook of goals.

Ramsey’s importance for his national team was underlined again during the 2016 European Championships.

He was the joint-top assist maker in the tournament alongside Eden Hazard with four apiece.

His suspension in the semi-final against Portugal left a big gap in the midfield, as he and Bale share a great telepathy on the pitch.

David Brooks

Since Giggs has come in, there have been a few notable inclusions in this new-look Wales team, especially after failing to make last summer’s World Cup.
