Wales and Real Madrid star Gareth Bale ( centre ) gets through some speed work on Wednesday . Bale and his Welsh team-mates are gearing up for Saturday 's Euro 2016 qualifier against Israel . But Gutman said : ‘ We don ’ t have enough strong players to kick him out . We are going to play as a team , one unit , not to give space .

Wales manager Chris Coleman said Bale would cope even if Israel resorted to the rough stuff . ‘ He has played most of his football in the Premier League , the most physically demanding in the world , ’ said Coleman . ‘ He has come through Madrid derbies and Clasicos in Spain . All the focus will be on him but we have a good squad and our strength is our togetherness. ’ Bale is set to be handed a free role tonight , after fierce criticism of his form by media and supporters in Madrid . Coleman insisted there had been no mention from Bale of Madrid during the week ’ s training , however , and his best player was unaffected by the furore . ‘ I can not see any difference in him , ’ said Coleman . ‘ If I thought it was bothering him , we would have talked about it . We have not mentioned Real Madrid , we have only talked about Wales and this game . He is happy , relaxed and , most importantly , fit . ’
