Gareth Bale to miss next two Real Madrid matches as Welshman suffers yet ANOTHER injury setback


GARETH BALE has suffered yet another injury setback at Real Madrid after tweaking his hamstring.

But the Wales star should be fit in time for El Clasico later this month after being ruled out for just two games.

Bale will miss clashes against Espanyol and Club Brugge before the trip to Barcelona on December 18.

Eden Hazard and Marcelo have already been ruled out of Saturday’s game against Espanyol at the Bernabeu.

But Bale’s injury raises more questions about his future under Zinedine Zidane, having already missed six games this season with a calf problem.

Bale, 30, has now sat out a total of 71 games since he joined Los Blancos from Spurs for £85.3million in 2013 – almost two full La Liga campaigns.

And with the Real Madrid boo boys in full swing after his cheeky golf banner banter with Wales, it’s unclear if Bale’s Spanish adventure will continue for much longer.

Manchester United are said to be interested in securing his services.

While former club Tottenham have also been linked.

However, Bale appears to be comfortable in his current surroundings after attending his first Real Madrid Christmas party in seven years.

Bale posed for a picture alongside his Galactico teammates, and is sure to have been delighted with the golf club he received for his Secret Santa present.

Despite his injury record for Real, Bale’s stats when playing can’t be disputed.

He has bagged an incredible 104 goals in 241 appearances playing as a right winger.

Bale also has the trophies to back up his reputation as one of the world’s finest, winning four Champions Leagues, one La Liga title, one Copa del Rey, one Spanish Supercup, one UEFA Super Cup and three Club World Cups with Real.
