Gareth Bale is now having rest in Cardiff after undertaking surgery in London in the Hospital King Edward VII on Tuesday. The Welshman left the hospital on Wednesday morning and headed Cardiff, where he will rest a few weeks before coming back to Madrid to start training with his team mates.
Real Madrid made an official statement in their website where the club said that the operation was a success: “Our player Gareth Bale has successfully come through the operation he underwent today after suffering an injury to the peroneal tendons in his right ankle. The operation was carried out at London’s King Edward VII Hospital by Dr. James Calder and Real Madrid Sanitas’ Dr. Mikel Aramberri, under the supervision of Dr. Jesús Olmo, head of Real Madrid’s medical department”.
Gareth Bale left the hospital on Wednesday morning with a plaster and he jump into a van to travel to Cardiff. In his way out of the King Edward VII, Bale said “I’m fine, thank you”. The Welshman should be back in three months to face the Last 16 Round of the Champions League.
Therefore, Gareth Bale will watch on TV the next El Clásico at Camp Nou and the important games of Borussia Dortmund and the FIFA World Cup. Luckily for Real Madrid, Álvaro Morata and Toni Kroos are improving very fast from their injuries and they should be able to travel to Japan to help the team to get the last trophy of the year.
Zinedine Zidane will have to think how to replace Gareth Bale in El Clásico. The game against Sporting Gijón showed that Karim Benzema is not at his best, so Los Blancos might have a problem in the attacking line. Lucas Vázquez should occupy one side of the attacking line, whereas Isco could play behind the striker, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Gareth Bale was one of the best players of Real Madrid at the start of the season, so Los Blancos supporters will miss him these three months.
