Report: Real Madrid unsure on Gareth Bale return

Real Madrid are reportedly unsure when Gareth Bale will return from a calf problem which has kept him out of action since last month.

The Welshman has struggled with the complaint throughout the campaign and aggravated the problem on January 17 against Sporting Gijon.

It had initially been thought that the 26-year-old would return later this month, but according to Marca, Real Madrid are not prepared to put a timescale on the recovery process.

Bale has scored 13 times in 17 appearances for Los Blancos this season, including 13 in 15 appearances in La Liga.
