Gareth Bale, who is struggling with a calf problem, has been included by Ryan Giggs in the Wales squad for their must-win final two Euro 2020 qualifiers against Azerbaijan and Hungary.

The 30-year-old Real Madrid star, who has not played since scoring for Wales in their 1-1 draw with World Cup finalists Croatia on October 13 is nevertheless considered a doubt for both the game in Azerbaijan on November 16 and at home to Hungary on the 19.

The Welsh surprise semi-finalists at Euro 2016 are presently fourth in their group, six points adrift of table-topping Croatia and four points adrift of second-placed Hungary.

Bale returned to light training with Real Madrid last week after a visit to London which sparked more speculation about his future.

This accelerated on Monday with claims Real Madrid were preparing a £70m ($90 million) bid plus Bale to lure England striker Raheem Sterling away from Manchester City.
