There are eight survivors from the squad which reached the Euro 2016 semi-finals – Bale, Aaron Ramsey, Ben Davies, Chris Gunter, Danny Ward, Joe Allen, Jonny Williams and Wayne Hennessey – with 19 of the 26 players having 25 caps or fewer. “When those times come I’m sure we’ll all be ready to do that.”The Wales squad spent last week at a warm-weather training camp in the Algarve in Portugal.
