Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale has recently been spotted playing with holes in his socks, but do you know why?
Some would immediately wonder if the Spanish giants have cut back on new kit, but they haven't, and nor is it the latest bizarre footballing fashion craze.
Instead, Bale strategically cuts holes in his socks in an attempt to find a solution to the injuries that have hindered his season so far.
The Welshman has missed nearly two months of the campaign with calf problems, and has taken the decision to play with holes in his socks to relieve pressure on the injured area.
Only time will tell if Bale's strange approach will fix his injury problems, but some have claimed that cutting holes in the sock could have a psychological benefit for the former Tottenham Hotspur star.
What do you think? Do you think cutting holes in his socks will help Bale at all?
