Real Madrid’s fans have had to look very far for Gareth Bale in the last five weeks.
Different lucky is in Wales.
He turned back to Madrid with an injury for Wales’ final group match against Croatia in October, and since then he has not appeared in a single one of Real Madrid’s matches. Neither the five in La Liga or the two in the Champions League. Just like he is, according to the Spanish media Marca, has not participated in the training session with the rest of the Real Madrid squad.
But when the welsh players on Monday were assembled, there was no problem to track with Bale, who was picked as the world’s most expensive player in Tottenham in 2013.

That the Bale is apparently in fine form may seem a little odd, given that he has not contributed in Real Madrid the past five weeks, but the Real Madrid coach, Zinedine Zidane, revealed in fact, already Saturday, that he is not harmed.
In his own cryptic manner.
– It is not because they are injured. They are not available, it sounded from Zidane about Gareth Bale and James Rodríguez.
They take away with their national teams for the next five or six days. So we must see if they are ready to play with their national teams, it sounded småbittert from the frenchman, without further explanation of what it will say, that they are neither damaged or available.
Gareth Bale were hit by an injury in the calf in Wales’ last match against Croatia, where he clearly marked limped around in the last ten minutes, because Wales had no more replacements.
Therefore, it has been natural to think that it was the injury that kept Bale from the field. It is manifestly not the case. And I wonder if Zinedine Zidane keeps a close eye on whether Bale plays against Azerbaijan and Hungary on Saturday and Tuesday.
Wales is whipped to victory in both matches, if they will have a chance to qualify for the european championships. Even with the six points, however, they can not even determine their fate.
