Wales legend Mark Hughes believes Gareth Bale can have an outstanding Euro 2020 with his country.
The winger, who spent the season on loan with Tottenham, was approaching his best form towards the end of the Premier League season.
Hughes believes that Bale's sporadic game time over the past 12 months will count in his favour, given many players may be fatigued after long seasons.
The former Wales striker told Sky Sports News: "I think with Gareth it has only been recently that he's actually been given game time but that might be something that Wales can benefit from because he may have that freshness that he needs.
"A lot of top players get to the end of seasons and it's on the back of 50 or 60 really high-level games and Gareth doesn't have that. We need Gareth playing at the top of his form and if he is then he will prove a huge asset to us.
"I'm a little bit worried about a couple of the senior players, obviously the likes of Ben Davies who has an injury problem at the moment, Joe Allen as well who was also involved in the previous campaign when Wales did really well, so you want your senior players fit.
"We haven't got that strength in depth that England or one of the top nations have. You want your top players playing well in order to inspire the others so we need the likes of Bale and the other guys I've mentioned to be right on their game."
