Wales summons Bale, who has not played since June 24

As expected, Wales coach Ryan Giggs has called up Gareth Bale for the national team matches against Finland and Bulgaria, corresponding to the Nations League.

The madridista is en the list of 26 cited for crashes, which will be disputed on September 3 in Finland and 6 of the same month in Cardiff. Both matches will be played behind closed doors. They will be Wales' first games after a ten-month hiatus in national team football due to the coronavius ​​pandemic.

Bale has not played a game since June 24, when he played 71 minutes in Madrid's victory (2-0) against Mallorca. In fact, since the return of football, He only played that game and 29 minutes of the first after the return from the competition, against Eibar. After the duel against Mallorca, Zidane decided not to line him up in the last seven league games and neither in the Champions League against Manchester City. In the last two commitments he was not even summoned, at his own request.

The Welshman's season has been a disaster. He has played 20 games and of them, only five complete ones, in which he scored three goals. Now the club looks for a way out for him, but it will be complicated by the lack of offers, because the player feels comfortable living in Madrid despite not playing and because its high record (29 million euros gross) is not available to almost any club. The player arrived at Madrid in 2013 and was renewed in 2016 until 2022.

In November of last year, Bale posed, after Wales's qualification for the European Championship, behind a flag held up by his team mates that read “Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order”, a clear mockery of the white club. The banner later turned into a chant sung by the Welsh fans.
