ANDhe Wednesday will leave in the Real Madrid the novelty of Bale’s return to a list. He did not appear in any since the derby played on December 12, in which he did not move from the bench. On Thursday (7:00 p.m., DAZN), at Round of 16 against Elche, will have another chance to play.
The Welshman has suffered in the last month some discomfort and contagion in coronavirus. The first is not new, since he has been dragging physical problems all season. For this reason it takes without stepping on the grass in an official match since August 28, with the sole exception of his brief participation in Wales’ 0-0 draw at Finland on 1 September.
The Welshman’s contract ends in June and Real Madrid is not going to make him a renewal offer. The priority of the footballer, aware of this situation, is try to take Wales to Qatar 2022 and play the World Cup at the end of the year.
Courtois and Mariano, inside the facilities
Otherwise, they did not exercise with the group Carvajal, positive for coronavirus, nor Marco Asensio and Jesus Vallejo, fallen in Arabia. Neither Mariano, in the infirmary since his break in Alcoy, nor Courtois, who due to indisposition will rest again in the tournament.
