Wales and Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale, who hasn’t played for Los Blancos since September the 26th, has just suffered another injury that will keep him away from the pitch for another full month. Bale added a thigh injury on top of the calf problem that he was having.
Real Madrid stated that Gareth Bale has suffered a thigh injury during his most recent training session after feeling high discomfort in his left leg. After a series of tests and a thorough medical check-up, Bale was finally diagnosed with a severe rupture and chances are that he will be out for at least another month.
Strain in the adductor
Being diagnosed with what appears to be a strain in his middle third of the left foot adductor muscle, Bale will not be able to train or play for Real Madrid until late December 2017. For players like Isco and Marco Asensio, this new injury might prove to be an opportunity. Obviously, they didn’t want anything bad to happen to their colleague in attack, but this is still a huge chance to establish themselves in the starting 11.
Derby against Atletico
In normal conditions, the recovery period for such an injury is 2 to 6 weeks, however, considering his previous health issues, it might be longer and the first chance to actually see him back might not be until early 2018. The upcoming derby against Atletico would have made the perfect come-back for Bale as he really likes to score against their town rivals. With the newly suffered injury, it looks like he’ll have to wait until the next match against Atletico. With or without Bale, this match is a great opportunity for fans to make some profits at Norske casino and take advantage of their odds.
What does the future hold?
After what was a slow start at Real Madrid, Bale really made a trademark out of his name and even helped Real Madrid in a lot of sticky situations. However, it just seems to be injury after injury for the Welshman and that could be the fuel more rumors about him being out of favor. Just like always, a lot of rumors started to fly around regarding his future with Los Blancos.

Bought as a huge sensation and a source of extremely high hopes for Real, Bale hasn’t left a very strong mark on the team and there are still fans that continue to believe he will do so once Ronaldo retires. However, he’s not getting any younger himself and with all the injuries and setbacks, it is really hard to tell.
