GARETH BALE is part of the Wales squad selected by absent manager Ryan Giggs and announced yesterday.

Skipper Bale missed October games against England, Ireland and Bulgaria with a knee injury — which also delayed his Tottenham debut following a season-long loan move from Real Madrid.

But he is back in a 29-man squad which was selected by Giggs before his arrest on suspicion of assaulting a woman on Sunday night.

The manager was arrested and later bailed over an alleged row with “on-off girlfriend” Kate Greville at his Manchester home on Sunday.

A statement released on behalf of Giggs said he denied “all allegations of assault made against him.”

The 46-year-old’s assistant, Robert Page, will be in charge for the three games and will be supported by Arsenal coach Albert Stuivenberg.

The Welsh FA took the unusual step of announcing the squad via its social-media platforms rather than in the currently conventional form of a press conference via Zoom.

Wales, who are top of Nations League Group B after three wins and a draw, are without first-choice goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey and his deputy Adam Davies through injury.

Giggs has recalled Dunfermline keeper Owain Fon Williams, who was part of the squad that reached the semi-final of Euro 2016 under Chris Coleman, and Newport’s Tom King.

Defenders Tom Lockyer and James Lawrence are also recalled and Newport midfielder Josh Sheehan wins a first senior call-up after being preferred to Cardiff’s Will Vaulks.

Tom Lawrence also features in a Wales squad for the first time this year after summer surgery.
