Bale to captain Wales for first time

Real Madrid star Gareth Bale is set to captain Wales for the first time in his country's UEFA Nations League game against Denmark. Bale has won 70 caps for Wales, scoring 29 goals, and has emerged as one of the very best players on the planet since his debut in 2006. After Cristiano Ronaldo departure from Santiago Bernabeu to join Juventus, Giggs has tipped his star man to step up in the Portuguese's absence. "When someone like Cristiano leaves there is always going to be a spotlight on who is going to replace him goal-wise and threat-wise," he said.
