Real Madrid have officially declared Gareth Bale as injured, although his name doesn't appear on the club's injury list at the express wish of the player himself, and Bale will now travel with the Wales squad during the international break.
Zinedine Zidane will not be able to select Bale for the Champions League clash with Galatasaray on Wednesday, whilst the French coach has also stated that he will leave him out of the weekend matchup with Eibar.
Behind the scenes at Valdebebas there isn't a great deal of surprise at Ryan Giggs calling Bale up for the fixtures against Azerbaijan and Hungary.
The forward will travel to Cardiff on November 11, but once he is there it will be down to the doctors and Welsh backroom staff to determine whether he is able to play any part in Wales' two remaining Euro 2020 qualifying matches.
Los Blancos couldn't block him from being called up, although they will seek daily communication with Ryan Giggs to be aware of the player's condition.
MARCA has learned that the club echoes the sentiments publicised by Zidane that the favoured solution is that Bale remains with the club until the end of the season, although it's not known if that feeling is shared by the former Southampton academy graduate.
Real Madrid are left to wait for updates on his fitness and see how the Welsh medical team assess him, but if you listen to Giggs' words, it's likely that Bale will play against Azerbaijan, just over a month after he was injured against Croatia.

Bale is not a serious player now, Real Madrid should just look for a way to cash on him in January.

Gareth Bale needs go to Inter Milan. Imagine Gareth Bale with Romelu Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez and Alexis Sanchez Would Be Dominate.

Great! He should leave already, the idea of him falling out with the coach often is exhausting..

Bale is faking his injury. He just wants to find a way to not play Football and rather play Golf and just wants to leave. We should get rid of him this winter and get in a better and more passionate player. We don’t want a player who doesn’t want to play for the badge on the shirt. THANK YOU BALE FOR EVERYTHING
