Bale’s Wales take on Switzerland in their opening game of the European Championship

Their preparations for this summer’s Euros have been hugely difficult with boss Ryan Giggs replaced by Robert Page due to off-field issues and several of their squad struggling for fitness.

Now, they’ll hope to put that behind them and start their tournament off on the front foot with a positive result against the Swiss.

Gareth Bale and co will be in Azerbaijan for their opening Group A tie and will be looking to conjure up memories of the last Euros.

Wales v Switzerland: What has been said?

Wales interim boss Robert Page has embraced Wales having the third youngest squad at Euro 2020 by insisting his inexperienced players have the ambition and hunger to succeed.

“I have a great group and a very good mix,” Page said.

“The older ones have got great character, temperament and personality.

“But we’ve got young, ambitious and hungry players coming into the squad that want their jerseys. Nobody can rest on what they’ve done before.

“There’s a good blend and on top of that they’re good characters.

“I liken it to a club environment and that is hard to achieve when you’ve only got them for sporadic moments throughout the year.”
