Spanish media outlets have once again taken a swipe at Gareth Bale after he linked up with Wales having been absent for Real Madrid.
The 32-year-old missed Los Blancos' 4-0 El Clasico defeat to Barcelona on Sunday night. Speaking about Bale after the game, boss Carlo Ancelotti said: “He didn’t feel well yesterday after training. He tried this morning but he wasn’t up to playing. He’s now going to join up with his national team and they’ll decide whether he plays or not."
However, he travelled to Cardiff ahead of Wales' crucial World Cup play-off semi-final contest with Austria on Thursday night. He has trained ahead of the fixture in the capital and is poised to be involved as the Red Dragons bid to reach a first World Cup since 1958.
