Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane has said Gareth Bale did not travel to participate in the Audi Cup on doctor’s advice.
Real Madrid have struggled in pre-season after 4 winless games at the Allianz Arena today, with Harry Kane scoring the lone goal in a match that Keylor Navas was very instrumental in.
Bale is not part of the team participating in the tournament but looks increasingly likely to remain at the club after a possible move to Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning collapsed over the weekend.
Zidane said, “Bale did not travel as he was not feeling good,”
“Speaking with the doctors it was better to stay in Madrid and train there. That’s it. It’s a decision taken together, speaking with him. That’s it.”
“I always think positively,”
“I know it is difficult, we are coming off a tough season and Madridistas might not think it but we have a great team.
“We are not ready yet but we will pick up confidence and play and come out of this. We just need to win a game.”
On Navas, “Keylor played a great game, that’s it,”
“What Thibaut said [about being number one] we’d have to see.
“There are no automatic starters here. We’re all in the same team, and all must be prepared.”
