Gareth Bale Spotted Playing Golf After Refusing To Play For Real Madrid

Just a few hours before Real Madrid's clash with Manchester City, Gareth Bale was reportedly spotted playing golf after deciding not to travel with the team.

Zidane revealed earlier this week that Bale had asked not to travel with the team to Manchester for their UEFA Champions League clash.

"The only thing I can say is that he has decided not to play, and the rest is between him and me," Zidane said, as per Mirror.

However, the Mirror have reported that Spanish television show El Chiringuito de Jugones showed images of the Welshman playing golf on Friday.

Bale has only featured twice for Los Blancos since the restart in June, with his relationship with Zidane seemingly far from reparable at this stage.
