Bale set for 100th Wales cap

Gareth Bale is in line to earn his 100th cap for Wales after being recalled to the squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifying matches.

Robert Page's team will face Belarus and Belgium this month in their final matches of the qualifying round.

Bale, who has made 99 appearances for his country, has played only three times for Real Madrid this season, having been kept out of action with a knee injury since early September.

Page says the 32-year-old's recovery has gone well and expects him to reach a century of caps this month.

"Gareth is in a good place. He’s exactly where we and the medical team thought he should be,” Page told BBC Sport Wales. "I spoke to him on Saturday and he’s raring to go. He’s back on the grass and doing absolutely everything possible to get himself 100 per cent fit.
