Two Real Madrid stars out through injury, heart condition
At the start of the season, the Merengues looked to be bursting at the seams with the likes of Isco and Marco Asensio ready to burst through.
Yet the Merengues are now seven points behind rivals Barcelona, and they have struggled to replace Alvaro Morata.
Now, moreover, it has been confirmed that Bale will miss the upcoming 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Republic of Ireland because of a hamstring injury.
Bale only managed 17 La Liga starts last season, and things aren’t looking a lot better for Dani Carvajal, who has remained coy about an unknown heart condition which is drawing a lot of speculation.
Real Madrid announced on their page: “Following tests carried out on Dani Carvajal, he has been diagnosed with a viral pericardium infection”.
Carvajal could also be in trouble for making racist remarks (captured on camera and analyzed by lip reading experts) to a black opponent in last month’s 1-1 draw with Levante.
