Report: Real Madrid to wait until September 22 to unleash Gareth Bale

Gareth Bale will reportedly not be considered for Real Madrid until the Spanish club's La Liga meeting with Getafe on September 22.

The 24-year-old completed his move from Tottenham Hotspur at the beginning of the month, but has not yet trained with Madrid due to international commitments.

It had been reported that the Welshman would feature against Villarreal this weekend, but according to AS, he has been pencilled in for week five in La Liga.

However, Bale could feature for his country in their World Cup qualifier against Serbia on Tuesday.
