Gareth Bale to miss Mexico friendly

Gareth Bale is one of five players to miss Wales's friendly with Mexico on Sunday through injury.

Gareth Bale has been ruled out of Wales's friendly with Mexico on Sunday through injury.

The Tottenham Hotspur winger is one of five absentees for the match in New York.

Sunderland's David Vaughan, Celtic's Joe Ledley, Cardiff City's Darcy Blake and Blackpool's Neil Eardly are also sidelined for the national team.

However, Liverpool foward Craig Bellamy has been included in the squad amid doubts over his international future.

"I wouldn't have included him if I didn't think he wanted to continue with us," manager Chris Coleman told BBC Sport.

"If Craig wants to make a statement about what he intends to do, maybe that will quash all the rumours.

"But he is very, very much a part of us going forward about this next campaign and we will have a better chance of doing something special with Craig rather than without him."

The match, which is Coleman's second in charge of the side, will take place at the MetLife Stadium.
