Zinedine Zidane: Gareth Bale 'Training Well' and 'Important' Ahead of Clasico

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has said Gareth Bale is in good shape ahead of the team's crucial Clasico showdown with Barcelona on Wednesday.

The joint La Liga leaders will head to the Camp Nou to face off in what promises to be a crucial encounter. The match was initially set to be played on October 26, but it was suspended because of civil unrest in the Catalan capital.

A couple of months on, the significance of the game has arguably heightened and Bale will be desperate to be involved after making his return to the side as a substitute against Valencia on Sunday.
