Gareth Bale Ruled out for Real Madrid's Next 2 Matches with Hamstring Injury

Real Madrid star Gareth Bale will reportedly miss their next two matches, against Espanyol and Club Brugge, due to a hamstring injury.

The winger is still in contention to be fit in time for the first Clasico of the season against Barcelona on December 18. AS (h/t Football Espana) reported Bale has returned to the treatment table and is also a doubt for Real's trip to face Valencia on December 15.

Bale, 30, will miss the visit of Espanyol in La Liga on Saturday, when Los Blancos hope to extend their eight-match unbeaten streak before travelling to Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
