Wales winger Bale out of England clash

Gareth Bale will miss Wales's Euro 2012 qualifier against England, it was confirmed on Thursday.
The 21-year-old has a hamstring injury and will return to his club, Tottenham Hotspur, for assessment.
"Due to a hamstring problem, Gareth Bale has had to withdraw from the Wales squad to face England on Saturday," said a statement from the Football Association of Wales.

"He felt tight last week during training with his club. After playing 90 minutes on Saturday he felt some muscle tightness.
"Initially, this was expected to be muscle soreness after playing his first game. On joining up with the Welsh squad he was kept off his feet in training for two days to recover.
"As he still felt tight in the warm-up on Tuesday, Gareth was pulled out of the session. He did not train at all on Wednesday and was sent for a scan. The scan revealed that Gareth Bale picked up his injury last week."
Bale made his first start after a lengthy absence with a back injury against West Ham United last weekend.
