'You'll have to wait and see' - Zidane coy on two-goal hero Bale's starting berth against Juve

The former Spurs star scored twice in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Las Palmas but his head coach was not ready to confirm him as a starter for Tuesday

Real Madrid star Gareth Bale is no certainty to face Juventus in the Champions League quarter-finals despite his two-goal haul on Saturday, according to Zinedine Zidane.

Bale was at the double as Madrid defeated Las Palmas 3-0 in La Liga ahead of Tuesday's first leg against Juventus in the Champions League.

Cristiano Ronaldo was rested by Zidane as the Madrid head coach had one eye on the quarter-final clash in Turin and Bale led the way at the Estadio de Gran Canaria on Saturday.
