Paul Dummett named in Wales training squad for Euros but no Gareth Bale

Newcastle defender Paul Dummett has been named in Gareth Bale in Chris Coleman’s 29 man Wales training squad ahead of the Euros but Gareth Bale was missing from the list.

The squad will travel to the Algarve on Monday 23 May for their pre-Euro 2016 training camp and then the final 23 man squad for the Euros will be named on Tuesday 31 May.

Gareth Bale has other things on his mind first, as well as the La Liga title race Bale and Real Madrid play in the Champions League final on Saturday 28 May, which explains his absence from the training camp.

Wales play away in Sweden on Sunday 5 June and then play their first group game in France on Saturday 11 June against Slovakia, before playing England on Thursday 16 June.

Chris Coleman’s side face Russia in the final group game on Monday 20 June.

Paul Dummett has came back to full fitness just in time and has played the last five Newcastle matches, which have seen United picking up two wins and three draws.

Wales 29 man training squad:

Hennessy, Fon Williams, Ward, A Williams, Davies, Collins, Chester, Taylor, Gunter, Richards, Dummett, Matthews, Henley, Ramsey, Ledley, Allen, J Williams, Edwards, King, Vaughan, Huws, Robson Kanu, Vokes, Church, Cotterill, G Williams, Bradshaw, Lawrence, Burns.
