Chris Coleman: 'Gareth Bale could play 90 minutes'

Wales manager Chris Coleman says that winger Gareth Bale could play the full 90 minutes in the team's international friendly against Iceland tomorrow.

Chris Coleman has insisted that Gareth Bale could play the full 90 minutes of Wales's international friendly against Iceland tomorrow evening.

The Real Madrid winger is fit for the game at the Cardiff City Stadium, which is one of just two friendlies that the nation will play ahead of the start of their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign.

The Wales manager told Sky Sports News: "If he starts we are looking to play him for 90 minutes. We want to win the game. We will have to go into it with the right mentality and will try to win the game and start with our strongest team.

"If we have the chance to make changes we will, depending on the players, how they are physically and how they are performing, but ultimately we want to win the game. I was never worried about Baley. He has been here before when he's known he is not going to play and has made the trip anyway to be with us. It is great to have him.

"He was involved in a tough game at the weekend, the Madrid derby was brutal at times. My heart was in my mouth on one or two occasions but he has come through that. He is here and raring to go. He's a special talent, he's an incredible athlete and he has surprised me how quickly he has come up to the level that's needed to play at that level."

Bale has earned 43 caps since making his international debut in 2006.
