Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has admitted that he is concerned over the fitness of Gareth Bale after the Welshman was forced off during the victory over Sporting Gijon this afternoon.
Bale opened the scoring for Los Blancos after just seven minutes at the Bernabeu as Madrid scored all of their goals in the first half of their 5-1 win.
However, a second consecutive victory under the new manager was hampered somewhat by the exits of both Karim Benzema and Bale to injury, and Zidane hinted that the latter could now face a spell on the sidelines.
"Karim's is just a knock but Gareth's injury is a bit more complicated," he told reporters.
"It's in the soleus (calf), and in the left one too. It's another problem but we will wait and see what the scans say tomorrow. I hope it is nothing serious."
Zidane also warned that there is more to come from his side after they scored five for the second consecutive game.
