The 25-year-old picked up an injury while on international duty last month, and was seen as a doubt having featured sparingly for club side Real Madrid.

However, Bale is deemed fit enough to be named among the squad, which includes four uncapped players.

Leicester City youngster Tom Lawrence, Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Lee Evans, plus goalkeepers Owain Fon Williams and Daniel Ward have all been included.

Meanwhile, Aaron Ramsey and Joe Allen both return having missed the Dragons' double-header against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Cyprus at the Cardiff City Stadium last month.

The Group B table toppers will be without the suspended Andy King, however, as well as injured duo Simon Church and Dave Edwards.

Goalkeepers: Wayne Hennessey (Crystal Palace), Owain Fôn Williams (Tranmere Rovers ), Danny Ward (Liverpool)
