The news comes after Giggs, who took charge as manager of the Wales national team earlier this year, banned his players from playing golf while on international duty, reported British tabloid, The Sun. The Welshman asked Bale to drive just one car and ensure the seat is properly adjusted to suit his body in the best way, since switching cars and a differing reach to the pedals, could make the player prone to hamstring injuries.

Giggs, in his first camp as manager, has also instructed Bale to avoid any demanding physical activity in his spare time, particularly things that strained his back, like swinging a golf club.
