Bale, Kroos give Real Madrid more Super Cup worries

Real Madrid could be without Gareth Bale, Toni Kroos and Pepe for the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla, with Karim Benzema still a doubt.

Real Madrid duo Gareth Bale and Toni Kroos could both be forced to sit out the UEFA Super Cup clash with Sevilla on Tuesday.

Cristiano Ronaldo has already ruled himself out of the match in Trondheim as he continues to recover from a knee injury suffered in Portugal's victorious Euro 2016 final.

The Champions League holders have been dealt a further blow with the news that Bale, Kroos and center back Pepe — all of whom were granted extended vacations after the tournament in France — could be too short on fitness to be risked against Sevilla.
