Thegoalmac can reveal that Carlo Ancelotti has insisted that Gareth Bale remains a key figure at Real Madrid and made it clear the attacker is as important to the Santiago Bernabeu side as Isco and James Rodriguez.
Do you agree with Mr Ancelotti?Continue for what he said.
"It seems like many have forgotten that Gareth Bale scored in the
Copa del Rey and Champions League finals [last season]," the Madrid
coach said at a press conference.
"He is equally important as James Rodriguez and Isco."
Bale was an unused substitute in Madrid's 5-0 battering of Levante
earlier this month, before missing last Wednesday's Champions League
victory at Liverpool and the Clasico triumph over Barcelona on Saturday
because of a hip problem.
Recent reports in the Spanish press suggested that the winger's
injury occurred because he is unable to play three matches in a short
period of time, yet Ancelotti has moved to dismiss that notion.
"It's a lie that Bale couldn't play three consecutive matches. He just has a small injury."
Ancelotti then went on to confirm that Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka
Modric, Iker Casillas, Toni Kroos and Sergio Ramos will all be rested
for Wednesday's game against third-tier Cornella.
"My starting XI against Cornella will be Keylor [Navas], [Alvaro]
Arbeloa, [Dani] Carvajal, [Raphael] Varane, Nacho, James, [Sami]
Khedira, Illarra, Isco, Chicharito and [Karim] Benzema."
