Gareth Bale Will Reportedly Return to Training on Thursday After Adductor Injury

Real Madrid have reportedly been handed a boost with forward Gareth Bale said to have not suffered a serious injury to his adductor.

The Welshman was withdrawn from the clash with Atletico Madrid at half-time Saturday after appearing to be in some discomfort before the interval. According to Marca, the decision was a precautionary one.

"On Monday at Valdebebas, Bale was examined again, and though the results were inconclusive, the player's feelings were positive," it's noted. "Now, the plan is for the Welshman to rejoin the group as soon as possible, and it is expected that he could return to training with the rest of the squad on Thursday.
