Bale's contract at Real Madrid ends in June. The Welshman does not have a place in Carlo Ancelotti's team. He has not played since last August. His last game time was against Betis in August. Since then, nothing.
And there are those who say Bale's mind is on a future away from the Santiago Bernabeu.
This Wednesday, Carlo Ancelotti asked his players to arrive at training for 11:00 CET. The club advises their players to reach 30 minutes beforehand to avoid any last minute issue.
Bale, according to 'AS', arrived at training at 10:49 CET, 19 minutes after the recommended time, but 11 minutes before the scheduled start time.
The Welshman's future at the club is unknown. He could even retire. If Wales manage to qualify for the World Cup, he is thinking of staying on to play in Qatar. If they do not, he could hang up his boots in the summer.
