Gareth Bale and his Wales team-mates laugh and joke around in training

Wales seemed to be over the disappointment of missing out on Nations League promotion as they laughed and joked around in training on Monday morning.

Their hopes of joining the elite of European football were ended by streetwise opponents Denmark, who won 2-1 in Cardiff on Friday night.

Ryan Giggs' side had to settle for second place in the group and will be in League B again when the competition resumes in 2020 but spirits are clearly high within the camp as Gareth Bale and Co took to the practice field once again.

Wales head to Albania for a friendly on Tuesday night for their final international match of 2018 and Bale and his team-mates looked to be in good spirits at The Vale Resort.

Manager Ryan Giggs is expected to make changes for the game in Elbasan and he watched the session unfold with interest.

The players began the session with a warm-up and stretches before taking part in a fun game that prompted Bale to run wild in celebration as his colleagues watched on laughing.

Giggs confirmed after the Denmark defeat that Chris Gunter will become Wales' most capped player by making his 93rd appearance in Albania and breaking Neville Southall's record.

But several of Giggs' exciting batch of young players are set to feature and gain more experience ahead of the European Championship campaign.

'I don't know if there will be changes, but it's a chance to extend this camp,' Stoke defender Ashley Williams said.

'At international level you're not playing week-in week-out with everyone. But we'll spend more time with each other now and play against a very good team.

'Losing to Denmark is nothing to get down about, they are one of the toughest teams I've played against for a while at international level.

'They've played together a long time and they don't lose. They've got one world-class player (Christian Eriksen) and a lot of other good players as well.

'It's not like we didn't play well, but we'll learn a lot from them too.'
