Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale has laughed off suggestions he has lost muscle mass after a picture emerged appearing to show him looking far leaner than usual.
Bale, 32, has only made a handful of La Liga appearances in what is proving to be another injury-struck season for Los Blancos.
The Wales talisman started the first three games of Carlo Ancelotti 's second reign at the Santiago Bernabeu, scoring once, but he has been missing since late August with knee, calf and back injuries compounded by a bout of coronavirus.
