Gareth Bale back in training for Real Madrid

Gareth Bale is expected to be fit for the Champions League final after returning to first-team training for Real Madrid.

The Welshman has struggled to overcome a calf problem in recent weeks, and has not featured for Los Blancos since El Clasico against Barcelona on April 23.

The 27-year-old took part in Real Madrid's training session on Friday afternoon, however, fuelling suggestions that the attacker will be in contention to start the European Cup final against Juventus in Cardiff on June 3.
