Gareth Bale is fit and ready to play for Wales in their Nations League 'Cup Final' against Poland on Sunday but doesn't yet know if Rob Page is going to pick him to start.

Page introduced his captain off the bench in the 2-1 defeat in Belgium on Thursday and now has to decide if he fits into his best starting XI for a game that Wales need to win to go one better than England and hold onto their League A status.

To do that they must beat the Poles at Cardiff City Stadium and Page says he will be putting the World Cup to the back of his mind and going all out to win to maintain Wales' top-flight status.
