GARETH BALE has been left out of Real Madrid’s squad for their La Liga clash against Cadiz tomorrow.
The Welshman returned to training this week, having recently suffered a back injury.

But he won’t be back in action tomorrow, having been snubbed from Carlo Ancelotti’s matchday squad.
Bale, 32, will leave Madrid at the end of the season after his £600,000-a-week deal expires.
He will only have two more chances to add to his 258 Madrid appearances and play for the Spanish giants again.
Ancelotti’s men will host Real Betis next weekend in their last La Liga game of the season.
They will then travel to the Stade de France to face Liverpool in the Champions League final.
Bale tormented the Reds in the 2018 final – coming off the bench to score twice as Madrid won 3-1.
After this year’s showpiece occasion, Bale will join Wales as they prepare for their World Cup play-off final against Scotland or Ukraine.
The Dragons skipper hopes to be fresh for his country, despite having made just seven appearances for his club this season.

His last Madrid goal came in August.
Ancelotti had to defend Bale after the striker missed the club’s LaLiga title party on April 30.
Spanish media described a tweet from Bale – who apologized for missing the title celebrations – as an ‘ugly gesture’.
The former Spurs star has also been criticized for missing the celebrations following Real’s dramatic Champions League semi-final win over Manchester City.
Bale has been linked with a shock summer move to hometown club Cardiff.
