Gareth Bale out with injury

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale has taken off from the Madrid derby match on Saturday following a groin problem.

The Welsh star was taken off at half time, having played for 45 minutes in the goalless draw against Atletico at the Bernabéu.

According to the Spanish giants coach, Lopetegui, he made it known that the forward will undergo a further assessment to know the extent of his injury.

The coach said they had to take precaution at halftime by withdrawing Bale, after having discomfort in his adductor.

Gareth Bale will be missed much by the Welsh team as he is a key part of the squad who will play Republic of Ireland in the UEFA Nations League.

Real Madrid will play CSKA Moscow on Tuesday in their second game of the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League.

MY THOUGHTS

I just hope Gareth Bale is not out for long, as both Real Madrid and Wales can't afford to have him out.

With the current form of Real Madrid, they really need their stars together to change their negative form.

Also, the superstar scored against Republic of Ireland last time both team met. He's just a crucial player in the squad, and Ryan Giggs will be hoping he's match fit before their game.
