Gareth Bale is in the Wales squad for their upcoming internationals, including the decisive World Cup play-off final against either Scotland or Ukraine.
The Wales captain has not started a game for Real Madrid since February, playing just 20 minutes in his two appearances since the end of March.
But he has been included in the 27-man squad hoping to make history.
Wales haven’t featured at a World Cup finals since 1958 but have given fine showings to make the knockout rounds at each of the last two European Championships.
