G. Bale began to struggle with injuries even before the season started

At the "Real" camp in Madrid - unsettling news: Gareth Bale did not finish today's training session in Chicago and possibly suffered a calf injury. The 27-year-old footballer has been going through a very tough period lately - the Welsh national team star played only 27 matches for Real Madrid last season due to injury, scoring just 10 goals. G. Bale, preparing for the 2017-18 season, started early this summer and it was expected that he would finally work on getting rid of constant injury problems. It seems that solving G. Bale's muscle problems will not be so easy - the footballer left the training session and will undergo tests in the near future to determine the seriousness of the injury. It is certain that G. Bale will miss tonight's friendly match against the MLS All-Stars team. It is currently unknown whether he will also miss the first official matches of the season - on August 8th, Real will face Manchester United for the UEFA Super Cup trophy.
