Wales manager Chris Coleman has announced his provisional 29-man squad for the European Championship.

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale has not been included as he continues to recover from a knee injury and builds up to the Champions League final against city rivals Atletico in Milan on Saturday, May 28.

Coleman will take his players on a week-long training camp in Portugal at the end of the season before cutting the squad down to 23 players by May 31, with at least six of the group set to miss out on Wales' first appearance at a major tournament since 1958.
