Welsh superstar Gareth Bale has not featured for Real Madrid since October 17. His 45-minute cameo in their 3-0 win over Levante saw the world’s most expensive player pick up a calf injury, which has kept him on the sidelines up until now.
However, with La Liga leaders Los Blancos set to travel to Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán to lock horns with Sevilla, the former Tottenham ace has landed himself included in the matchday squad.

This will come as a huge relief to Rafael Benitez. Although Les Merengues have not yet tasted defeat this season, their attack has appeared a time one dimensional in the Welshman’s absence, especially in their Champions League clashes with PSG.
Despite only scoring twice in La Liga this season, the 26-year-old is the club’s second most creative player, having dished out 3 assists even though he’s only made four starts in the league.

Furthermore, with Karim Benzema all but assured a start regardless of his latest legal battle, Real Madrid’s fearsome BBC trio is set to reunite for the first time in one month, with the last time all three attackers featured together being in the Madrid derby back in October 4.
