Bale in line for Madrid derby

Gareth Bale has continued his recovery from fitness uncertainty and looks set to make Real Madrid’s weekend clash with Atletico Madrid.

The winger pulled out of Madrid’s Week 5 clash at home to Getafe during the pre-match warm-up suffering discomfort in his thigh.

Whilst tests revealed a minor overload, the 24-year-old was left out of plans for the midweek trip to Elche to focus on working through a recovery programme.

On from that, the Welshman has rejoined his colleagues in training today to take a full part in the workout, indicating that he is on course to be available for selection this Saturday for the visit of Atletico Madrid.

Those who started yesterday’s 2-1 win at Elche generally worked through recovery programmes for the day in the gym.
