Gareth Bale's lack of game time during his season-long loan at Tottenham could mean he can provide Wales with added "freshness" at this summer's European Championships, according to Mark Hughes. Hughes thinks that Bale's lacklustre return to Tottenham may prove to be advantageous for Wales come next month's Euros. We need Gareth playing at the top of his form and if he is then he will prove a huge asset to us. "It just has to happen after the Euros," Bale told Sky Sports after Spurs' final game of the season against Leicester. 0:26 Wales defender Ethan Ampadu admits he is unsure if Gareth Bale will retire from international football after Euro 2020 but says he hopes the Welsh captain stays on until the next World Cup in Qatar.
