Gareth Bale looks to have played his last Real Madrid game as injury keeps him sidelined against Manchester City in midweek.
The Welsh international has played a peripheral role for Carlo Ancelotti’s side in his final season in the Spanish capital with just one La Liga start in 2022.
Injuries have continued to be a major factor for the 32-year-old, and a back injury kept him out of this weekend’s 4-0 win at Espanyol, and the subsequent title winning celebrations in Madrid.
Bale congratulated his teammates via social media but there is a growing sense he will not feature in their final few games of the campaign.
CAMPEONES 🏆💪🏼
So disappointed that I’m not able to be part of the celebrations this evening due to a bad back spasm but really proud of the team for winning the title! Enjoy tonight boys! #HalaMadrid pic.twitter.com/RbXttKwHSE

Reports from Mundo Deportivo have confirmed he will be absent for the visit of Pep Guardiola’s charges in midweek, following tests on a back spasm, with a likely estimate of two weeks out.
Ancelotti could grant him a farewell appearance, with the league title now wrapped up, if Los Blancos need to rest players for a potential Champions League final at the end of May.
