Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale have been included in Ryan Giggs’ Wales squad for the upcoming Euro 2020 Qualifiers.

Wales have a crucial double-header against Azerbaijan (16 November) and Hungary (19 November) in which they will need maximum points if they are to qualify for Euro 2020.

Wales will also need Slovakia to drop points if they are to qualify. Ryan Giggs’ side do have the potential fall-back of the one-legged play-offs, should they miss out on automatic qualification. 

Madrid superstar Bale hasn’t played since Wales 1-1 draw with Croatia in October.

Ramsey – yet to make in appearance in qualifying – has played just 52 minutes of action for Juventus since the last international period.

Wales will be without Joe Allen in Azerbaijan due to suspension.

Wales squad:

Hennessey, Ward, A Davies, Gunter, A Williams, B Davies, Taylor, C Roberts, Ampadu, Mepham, Lockyer, J Lawrence, Poole, Ramsey, Allen, Wilson, Smith, Levitt, James, Vaulks, Morrell, Bale, Vokes, T Lawrence, T Roberts, Matondo, Moore.
