Gareth Bale cleared of thigh injury after positive scan results

Bale was taken off at half-time during Saturday’s derby draw with Atlético Madrid, and was left out of the Champions League squad to face CSKA Moscow by manager Julen Lopetegui.

However, AS and MARCA are reporting that scans on Monday showed the Welshman merely suffered a knock and is expected to re-join full training.

After Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Juventus in the summer, the onus has been on Bale to take the playing reins at Real.

The forward has responded with four goals and three assists in eight games across all competitions.

Real began the defence of their Champions League crown with a 3-0 win over Roma last month, while their group also contains Czech side Viktoria Plzeň.
