Wales boss Coleman hopes Bale plays for Real Madrid

Real Madrid's Gareth Bale has been named in the Wales squad for the Euro 2016 qualifier against Belgium on 16 November.

Bale had not played since Wales beat Cyprus 2-1 in October, but came off the bench for Real in Tuesday's Champions League win against Liverpool.

Wales manager Chris Coleman hopes Bale, 25, gets more game time for Madrid against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.

"It will be nice if he gets an hour," said Coleman.

"He'll probably play 90 minutes knowing Gareth and it will do him good just to get that little bit of rhythm back in his play before he joins up with us.

"He looked good coming on against Liverpool, looked quick looked sharp so that's positive."

Aaron Ramsey and Joe Allen return to the squad following injuries.

Both players missed October's qualifiers against Bosnia-Hercegovina and Cyprus through injury, but have returned to action for their clubs since then.

Allen played 90 minutes for Liverpool against Real Madrid in the Champions League while Arsenal's Ramsey featured against Anderlecht in the same competition.

Three other players who also missed Wales' last two qualifiers, West Ham defender James Collins, Celtic full-back Adam Matthews and Wolves captain Sam Ricketts, return to Coleman's squad.

Wolves midfielder Lee Evans and Newcastle United defender Paul Dummett, who pulled out of the last squad because of injuries, are also included.

Evans is one of four uncapped players in the squad along with goalkeepers Owain Fon Williams of Tranmere and Liverpool's Danny Ward and Leicester City striker Tom Lawrence.

Wales will be without Leicester midfielder Andy King who is suspended and Reading striker Simon Church (damaged collarbone) and Wolves midfielder Dave Edwards (knee ligament damage).
