Bale already say out the friendly which his Welsh side lost 6-1 to Spain on Thursday evening, and he will also not feature in the competitive fixture against the Irish.

'Los Blancos' next face Levante in the league on October 20th, before they face Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League just three days later as they look to bounce back from the shock defeat to CSKA Moscow.

Next up will be a huge encounter, as Lionel Messi and co. will host the European champions at the Camp Nou for the first Clasico of the season on 28th October.

Bale is expected back at Real Madrid's training complex on Monday according to the 'Cardiff Express', and will hope that their star forward can get back to fitness as soon as possible.
