“It was a joint decision,” Wales manager Coleman said of the talks when naming a 26-man squad for the two games.
“It’s right that he stays where he is, that he works there and gets treatment.
“I think he will benefit from that between now and the end of the season.

“Real Madrid have been first class all along, they recognise in Gareth they’ve got a player totally committed to Wales.
“They have never put an obstacle in our way, so equally we have to recognise that the last couple of months have been tough for Gareth fitness-wise.
“His wife is ready to give birth at any time, otherwise I think he would have popped across.
“When he’s been able to do that he’s popped across to see the guys, but it’s not been possible this time.”
“People said at the start of the [Euro 2016] campaign we won’t get him as much now he’s at Real Madrid, but he’s been in his best form for us since.
“What he’s done in the last two years has been incredible – he scored seven goals in 10 games in the Euros and was pivotal in us qualifying.
“People who question Gareth’s commitment don’t know him as well as we do.
“Looking at the bigger picture it’s all about the summer, and we’ve got to make sure we’ve got our strongest squad for the tournament.
