Tottenham’s Gareth Bale has been left out of the Wales squad to face Croatia after being given time to rest.
Bale has been in superb form for Tottenham since his return to the side in January and Wales boss John Toshack has decided not to risk the left-sided player.
Tottenham’s Croatian contingent of Niko Kranjcar and Vedran Corluka are expected to miss the game through injury. We had a look on the Croatian FA website but could not see a team announcement, so we’re unsure if newly-married Luka Modric will take part in the game in Osijek on May 23. Of course, if you come across any news, let us know.
