Listen - Wales v Norway - Toshack down over Bale injury

It's been a week of bad news for John Toshack. The Wales boss had already been without Gareth Bale for two months, but his fears were compounded when his club, Spurs, confirmed the 18 year-old starlet was not expected to return to action with his damaged ankle ligaments.

The former Southampton man had enjoyed a bright start to his career in the Premier League, scoring three times in his first 6 appearances for the club. But an injury from a crunching tackle from Birmingham's Fabrice Muamba has caused a big headache for the under-fire Toshack, already without the services of star striker Craig Bellamy as well for the Nationwide International against Norway at the Millenium Stadium.
