Team News: Gareth Bale starts as Wales face Israel

Gareth Bale has been included in the Wales XI for this afternoon's Euro 2016 Group B qualifier against Israel.

The Real Madrid attacker will start in a forward position alongside Reading's Hal Robson-Kanu, while Swansea City's Ashley Williams wins his 50th international cap as captain.

There are also spots in the team for Aaron Ramsey and Joe Allen, with Chris Coleman's XI featuring a number of recognisable faces.

Israel, meanwhile, are captained by the vastly-experiuenced Tal Ben Haim, who will win his 84th cap.

Omar Damari, who has netted nine goals in 17 appearances for his country, also starts in what appears to be a 4-5-1 formation.

Israel currently top Group B on nine points, one point ahead of Wales, who have played one game more.

Israel: Marciano; Dgani, Ben Haim, Tibi, Ben Harush; Yeini, Natkho, Ben Haim II, Refaelov, Zahavi; Damari
