Gareth Bale moved to Los Angeles FC following his trophy-laden spell at Real Madrid in search of match fitness ahead of the forthcoming World Cup in Qatar, which kicks off in a fortnight.
However, Bale has featured only 12 times for the MLS side since joining in July, scoring twice, and has only managed two starts.
Worryingly, Bale has been non-existent for his side in the post-season; LA’s play-off campaign has been straightforward since claiming the Supporters' Shield but Bale missed out on a place on the bench for the Western Conference semi-finals against Los Angeles Galaxy and watched the subsequent final against Austin FC from the bench.
