Gareth Bale ruled out of Wales' final World Cup 2018 qualifying fixtures

And the injury has proved enough to see him miss the games against Georgia and Republic of Ireland this week.

The Boys in Green face Moldova at the Aviva Stadium on Friday before turning their attentions towards Cardiff.

As if missing two pivotal worldwide matches that will decide whether or not second-place Wales hang on to secure a play-off spot in Group D as they look to make their first World Cup appearance for 60 years, Spanish publication Marca are now among those to report that Bale will be absent for up to four weeks because of a new issue discovered in the soleus muscle.

The injury could not come at a much worse time for Bale for a number of reasons.

Wales will be without their talisman for their final two 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

Wales need to win both games to at least make next month's World Cup play-offs, but their record without Bale does not make pretty reading.

Woodburn has been knocking on the door to start these games, after the 17-year-old made quite the impression in Wales' last two qualifiers.

"I wouldn't say I can replace him, I'm a different kind of player to Gareth", Lawrence said.

Wales will probably revert to their famous 5-2-3, with Liverpool's Ben Woodburn taking Bale's place in the attacking trident with Ramsey and one of Sam Vokes or Hal Robson-Kanu.

It's also important to note that Wales will travel to Georgia for their penultimate clash and they now do that without their best and most influential player.

However, with Bale out it is unlikely that Coleman would bring in two new wingers alongside Aaron Ramsey.
