Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale looks set to miss the Champions
League quarter-final, second leg against Atletico Madrid on
Wednesday after scans confirmed a muscle injury in his left calf.
Bale limped off after less than five minutes of Real's 3-1 win over
Malaga in La Liga on Saturday.
"After the tests carried out on Gareth Bale by the Real Madrid
medical team, a muscle injury in his left calf has been diagnosed," the club said in a statement on Monday. "His condition will be evaluated."
The club refused to add how long Bale will be sidelined for, but it
seems highly unlikely he will be fit for the eighth Madrid derby of the season that will decide who progresses to the semi-finals, with the score locked at 0-0 after the first leg at the Vicente Calderon last week.
Madrid have been unable to beat Atletico in any of those seven
previous meetings and face mounting problems due to injuries and suspensions.
