Belgium defender Jan Vertonghen has insisted that he is not fearing the prospect of facing the "unbelievable" Gareth Bale in Sunday's Euro 2016 qualifier with Wales.

Vertonghen is expected to come up against his former Tottenham Hotspur teammate - now at Real Madrid - in Brussels tomorrow.

However, he says that it would be a mistake for Belgium to focus all of their efforts on combating Bale, claiming that Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey also needs to be kept quiet.

"It's very difficult to mark Gareth and I don't think you can do it in a one-on-one situation, you mark him as a team," Vertonghen told reporters. "Space is the most important thing for Gareth so our communication is very important.

"He's an unbelievable player, one of the best in the world, but I'm not scared playing against good players.

"But Wales have other good players, Aaron Ramsey was outstanding the last time we played them and scored in the game."

Chris Coleman's side currently sit top of Group B with seven points, three clear of Belgium.
