Bale really trains with Wales

Gareth Bale got injured in the last game with Wales (vs Croatia) on the 13th October and since then he has not returned to play with Real Madrid. Zinedine Zidane could not count on the Welshman this time, but after being called up for his national team, the striker seems totally recovered.

Wales underwent their first training session this Monday, ready to face Azerbaijan and Hungary. And Bale was even present in the training session, as he exercised with the group without any apparent physical problems, as he appeared in a good mood and smiling.

Thus, after 25 days of being confined to the gym with solitary sessions, Gareth Bale returned to train 100%. In this period, the Madrid man missed out on games against Mallorca, Galatasaray, Leganes and Betis.

The truth is that Bale's situation has been rather ambiguous in the past few weeks. Zinedine Zidane was cryptic, although he was relieved to talk about both Bale and James Rodriguez in a press conference. "They are not available, injured no. They are on the pitch, but not available to play. They are going to go with their national teams and I don't want to do anything because they have to go," said the Frenchman.

Toni Kroos already referred to Bale's situation. The German did not mince his words in declarations that he made with 'AS'. "It seems a little opportune that you come from your national team, don't play with your club and then go back in good condition to your national team. Maybe it's not the best time, but I hope he'll be well again when he comes back," he criticised.

Bale is back at work, so Ryan Giggs will be able to count on his main asset for the aforementioned matches against Azerbaijan and Hungary to qualify for UEFA EURO 2020.
