What's happening with Bale?

Until not go ago Real Madrid were on a great run of form. Los Blancos seemed invincible until Thursday when Real Sociedad came to town.

Real Sociedad beat Real Madrid 4-3 in a match that Bale wasn't involved in. Why? Because Zidane decided so.

According to 'Marca', Zidane has distanced himself from Bale because he understands that the player isn't training at the level demanded to play for the club.

The aforementioned source affirms that this is the reason that Bale hasn't made the last 3 Real Madrid squad lists.

You mustn't forget that Bale sprained his ankle against Unionsitas and this kept him out of the group for several days.

He missed the match against Valladolid due to the injury while he wasn't involved in the matches against Zaragoza, Atlético and Real Sociedad and this was when he was in prime condition to play.

Meanwhile, the player's agent Barnett has made it quite clear that Bale "loves Madrid" and that "he will stay there, for 2 more years at least".
