Chris Coleman has confirmed that Gareth Bale will start for Wales against Bosnia as they seek to secure European Championship qualification.
Wales need a point against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Zenica on Saturday night to end the nation's 58-year wait to play at a major tournament.
Even if Wales lose they have the safety net of welcoming group minnows Andorra to Cardiff on Tuesday night.
Coleman confirmed that star forward Bale will start against Bosnia, even though he has played only 24 minutes for Real Madrid since hurting a calf over three weeks ago - although he is unlikely to play 90 minutes.
"We have had no information (from Madrid) that Gareth can only play 30, 45 or 60 minutes against Bosnia," said Coleman.
"We do not take chances with players and Gareth will start. If he was a doubt that he could not start then he wouldn't.
"We know there is a lot at stake but we would not risk him. He is fit to start, but I am not sure he is fit enough for 90 minutes.
"We will monitor how it goes as we have two games in four days, which is tough, so he is unlikely to play 90 in both.
"But he has looked good in training and we have had no limits on how long he is able to play."
Coleman expects a tough test against a Bosnia side who have their own qualification hopes but the Wales boss insists they'll be no holding back as they want to get the job done in the Balkans.
"We're ready and we will take it to Bosnia," Coleman said.
"This will be a tough game because it's Bosnia's last chance to go for that third play-off spot.
"Sometimes with success comes complacency, but not with this group of players.
"They've been highly focused all week on the next job, the next challenge, and that comes against Bosnia."
