Gareth Bale will not start for Wales in World Cup qualifier with Serbia

 

Wales boss Chris Coleman has confirmed Gareth Bale will once again not start in Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Serbia.

Bale was an unused substitute in Friday's 2-1 defeat in Macedonia, to the anger of some supporters, with Coleman admitting he did not want to risk Real Madrid's new £86m signing.
The winger, who has not played since July, is awaiting the results of a scan on a groin injury ahead of Tuesday's clash in Cardiff but Coleman told Sky Sports News he is at the behest of his star man when it comes to his fitness.
