Carlo Ancelotti: 'No Gareth Bale concern'

Ancelotti: 'No Bale concern'

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that there is not an underlying problem with world-record signing Gareth Bale.

The Welshman has impressed during the early stages of his career in Spain, but has missed a lot of football with a succession of muscular injuries.

However, Ancelotti has revealed that the attacker will be part of his 18-man squad for the La Liga clash with Celta Vigo this evening.

"He will be included in the squad for the match [on Monday], but I have yet to decide if he's going to play," Ancelotti told reporters at a press conference.

"He has trained this week, he's fine, he doesn't have any problems. But we might wait a bit more so as to play him at peak condition."

Bale has scored nine times in 15 games for Madrid this season.
