Wales football manager Chris Coleman helped rescue a "vulnerable" elderly woman who went missing from her home, the South Wales Evening Post reports.

He was on his way to a meeting in Pembrokeshire when he noticed the woman dangerously close to traffic.

Coleman is said to have driven around Haverfordwest for half an hour to see if the woman could recognise her home, before calling friends in the town to ask for help.

Chris Coleman: 'It's nice to have Craig Bellamy back'

Wales manager Chris Coleman is pleased to have Craig Bellamy back on the squad for tonight's match against Austria.

"We've got him back for this friendly. The next twelve or twenty four months, in all honesty, I don't think we'll have him for too many friendlies, because he needs his rest.

"It's nice to have him back".

Bellamy named in Wales squad for Mexico

Chris Coleman has named his 23-man squad for Wales' match against Mexico at the end of the month. It's the first time the Wales manager has taken charge of picking the squad. Although already appointed, he decided to take a back seat for the Gary Speed Memorial match against Costa Rica in February.

Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy, 32, is included, a sign that he may continue his Wales career into the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign. He'd previously admitted he was considering his international future after Speed's death.

Wales face Mexico in New Jersey, USA on 27 May, before qualifying begins in September, against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Wales squad to face Mexico:

  • J Brown, L Price, R Taylor; D Blake, N Eardley, C Gunter, A Matthews, S Ricketts, N Taylor, A Williams; J Allen, A Crofts, D Edwards, A King, J Ledley, A Ramsey, D Vaughan; G Bale, C Bellamy, S Church, S Morrison, H Robson-Kanu, S Vokes
