Wales’ captain Gareth Bale is in good shape according to his teammate Hennessey.
After a long time away from action
Wales’
captain
Gareth Bale
has been called to play for his national team, and his teammate
Wayne Hennessey
insists that Bale is in good shape despite his struggles with a hamstring injury before the international break.
"He's looking very well,"
Hennessey said.
"He's in good shape, he's smiling and laughing - and when you get Gaz like that he's fantastic to be around."
Wales’ goalkeeper thinks that Bale is ready to help his side as he heads into his 100th national team appearance, insisting that Real Madrid’s star is taking good care of himself and that he will return to his position in football soon.
Hennessey said:
"He looks after himself very well. He's always in the gym doing stuff and keeping up on his fitness.
"He's very particular what he eats. He looks after his body and is in good shape.
"What he can do on a football field is absolutely amazing. Everyone knows his talent but he's a special guy and a special person. He's down to earth and fame will never change him.
"He's a fantastic leader, a leader we've enjoyed, and who can hopefully keep leading us.
"People don't see that side of him, when he's in the dressing room. He's vocal, he has got a fantastic football brain and he's played at the highest level."
Hennessey has been friends with Gareth Bale for a long time, experiencing his first national team appearance within one year from Bale, and has praised Bale’s morals calling him a pure gentleman.
"I've known Gareth for a long time and he's just a pure gentleman,"
said 34-year-old Hennessey.
"I've seen him develop from a young boy to the highest limits you can obviously think of.
"We're always close and have a laugh. But it's always at the right time and we're serious at the right time whenever we step on that pitch.
"He's scored some special goals for Wales. I always liked the England one at Euro 2016. That always sticks in my head. I know Joe Hart and he was in goal.
"What Gaz does with his free-kicks - and what he does with the ball in general - is special."
