Gareth Bale will miss Real Madrid’s weekend clash with Barcelona.
The £85 million man will be forced to sit out the game thanks to a muscle injury he picked up in training Last Friday, Los Blancos chief Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed.
Bale didn’t take part in Madrid’s win at Levante, and is also missing their game against Liverpool on Wednesday, having been left out of Madrid’s travelling party , along with Sergio Ramos.
“Bale picked up an injury in training on Friday and is not available for Liverpool nor the game on Saturday,” explained Ancelotti.
“We’ll see how things progress with his recovery.
“Bale travelled to Valencia because the injury didn’t seem that serious. We thought it was just fatigue but when we returned he had a scan which showed a tear.”
