– Page confirms no golf in Qatar
– Tight fixture schedule to blame
– Wales at first World Cup since 1958
WHAT HAPPENED? With just about every football fan in the world in the knowing about Bale’s love for a round of golf, Wales manager Page was inevitably asked about the rules around their camp heading into the 2022 World Cup. Page has made it clear that the 33-year-old will only be permitted to focus on football for the duration of the tournament.
WHAT HE SAID: “Yeah. There’s no golf. We’re out there to do a job,” he admitted, when asked about the agenda, adding: “In the past I may get Gareth, Kieffer Moore or Aaron Ramsey come up to me and say, ‘What’s the plan for tomorrow afternoon? Are there meetings?’
“I’d say, ‘No, there’s no meetings, so if you want nine holes then go and play’.”
