Gareth Bale has been left out of Chris Coleman's squad to face Netherlands in Cardiff, a week on Friday.

The Real Madrid Superstar is believed to still be struggling with a calf injury and did not feature in his club's 1-0 win against Paris Saint Germain last night.

Wales will also be without Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey who has been sidelined with a hamstring problem.

The friendly against Netherlands comes just over a month after Wales qualified for their first major tournament in over a half a century.

Following Wales's qualified for the European Championship next year, Manager Chris Coleman said he wanted to play strong opposition in the build up.
