Gareth Bale is recovering after having undergone successful surgery on his right ankle, Real Madrid announce.

Real Madrid have confirmed that forward Gareth Bale has undergone successful surgery on his right ankle, although no time frame has been given for his return to action.

"Our player, Gareth Bale, has undergone today successful surgery to repair damaged tendons in his right ankle," Real said in a statement.

"The operation took place at King Edward VII Hospital in London by doctor James Calder and Real Madrid Sanitas doctor Mikel Aramberri, under the supervision of doctor Jesus Olmo, head of Real Madrid's medical services."

The 27-year-old has scored seven goals and set up three more in 16 starts for Real in all competitions this season.
