Gareth Bale withdraws from Wales squad

Bale withdraws from Wales squad

Gareth Bale has withdrawn from the Wales squad for next week's friendly against the Netherlands due to injury.

The 24-year-old scored for Real Madrid on Saturday to help the team claim their 10th Champions League title with a 4-1 win over Atletico Madrid.

However, Bale will now miss his country's encounter against the Dutch with a leg muscle injury that the Football Association of Wales claims he has been suffering with "for a few weeks".

His place in the squad has been taken by Fulham's George Williams.

Wales take on the Netherlands in Amsterdam on June 6.
