Bale injury doubt for Madrid.
Gareth Bale is a doubt for Real Madrid's La Liga clash at Rayo
Vallecano on Wednesday due to a foot injury.
The Welshman opened the scoring in Real's 9-1 rout of Granada
on Sunday, but Carlo Ancelotti will not be short of options should
Bale miss out, with Isco, James Rodriguez, Luka Modric and Toni
Kroos available for the first time in five months.
"We have had problems with Bale, who has a knock on his left foot which we will evaluate," Real coach Ancelotti said in his
pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
Rodriguez made his return after two months out with a foot injury in the place of the suspended Isco at the weekend, but Ancelotti claimed they wouldn't be vying for just the one place in the side and that his preferred front three of Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo could be rotated in the coming weeks.
"We have a game every three days until the beginning of May and the rotations will be necessary," he said.
"There isn't a debate between James and Isco, it is between the
whole squad which is a good thing. We have almost the whole
squad in optimal condition.
"James is doing very well in his first year, but Isco is also a great
player who has had some fantastic games. I am lucky to have
them both. It is a good problem to have."
Pepe remains the only definite injury absentee as Madrid continue their pursuit of La Liga leaders Barcelona.
