Bale out for more than two weeks

Bale's ordeal continues. The Cardiff Express has come back injured from international duty and he is the umpteenth player to be out for Real Madrid.

'El Partidazo de COPE' reports that he has an injury in his right soleuys and so he will be out for between two and three weeks. That news is terrible for 'Los Blancos'.

Bale joined up with the Wales camp after being out injured for more than a month recovering with Madrid's medical services. He forced himself to play and got injured.

'Marca' says that Real Madrid will not publish Bale's medical report at the player's request. Bale played and started in the 5-1 thrashing of Belarus, but missed the 1-1 draw with Belgium as he was already injured.
