Bale Out For Three Weeks With Calf Injury

Gareth Bale picked up a calf injury during the recent international break and is expected to miss three weeks of action for Real Madrid.

The Welshman had missed nine weeks because of a knee injury but returned to training before jetting off with Wales, for whom he made his 100th appearance in the 5-1 win over Belarus.

Bale started that game but was withdrawn at half-time after picking up the fresh problem, which also kept him out of the 1-1 draw with Belgium that saw Wales secure a seeded place in the play-offs for qualification for the 2022 World Cup.

According to Marca, Bale has personally requested that Real do not release the medical report of his latest problem, which is believed to have highlighted that the winger will need another three weeks to get back to full fitness.

The hope is that Bale will be back in action towards the middle of December, nearly four months after he played his last game for Real.
