AFP, Madrid :
Gareth Bale will once again be sidelined for Real Madrid’s visit to Athletic Bilbao on Saturday due to the recurrence of a calf problem suffered in his first appearance for two months in midweek.
The Welshman rode to the rescue of an inexperienced Real side against
third tier Fuenlabrada in the Copa del Rey as he came off the bench in the
final half hour to set up Borja Mayoral’s double in a 2-2 draw that sealed
Madrid’s place in the last 16 on Tuesday.
