Bale survives Villarreal injury scare unscathed
In contention for Las Palmas game
Posted Tuesday, February 28, 2017 by Marca.com
The consequences of Gareth Bale's nasty ankle twist on Sunday night are not expected to keep the Welshman out of action for long.
Alarm bells were ringing after the winger left the Villarreal game on the 88th minute after an awkward landing and caught the team bus home with a large bag of ice strapped to his ankle.
In fact, fears seemed to be compounded when Sergio Ramos wished Bale well in his recovery in the same breath as Sergio Asenjo, potentially likening the situation to that of the Yellow Submarine goalkeeper who had just torn his anterior cruciate ligament.
However the winger is set to return to full training on Tuesday after spending the post-match session exercising in the gym along with the other Real Madrid starters from the 3-2 win.
At that point, it will be down to Zinedine Zidane to decide if Bale has overcome what was simply an twisted ankle before selecting him for the Las Palmas fixture on Wednesday night.
