NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Wales boss Rob Page admits there remain doubts over the fitness of Gareth Bale and Joe Allen after naming them both in his squad for the 2022 World Cup.
Bale is fit to play, coming off the bench to score a late equaliser in the dramatic MLS Cup final win for Los Angeles FC over Philadelphia Union, however, he has not played a full 90 minutes since his move to the States.
Allen will not have played at all for over two months when Wales play their opening match against USA due to a hamstring problem, but is nearing a return to fitness.
On Bale being able to play all three group games in a short space of time, Page said: ‘That’s the million dollar question. We don’t know, we’ll assess each game as it comes.
