Doherty and McClean tested positive for Covid
Wales returned negative tests before key Finland clash

Gareth Bale has expressed concerns over catching Covid-19 after playing for Wales against Republic of Ireland opponents who subsequently tested positive.

Bale’s Tottenham teammate Matt Doherty and the Stoke midfielder James McClean tested positive after Wales’s 1-0 Nations League win in Cardiff on Sunday. But Bale said the Football Association of Wales, which reported that every one of its players had tested negative after the Ireland game and were available to face Finland on Wednesday, had done a “fantastic job”.
