Wales national team coach Chris Coleman criticized Real Madrid for Gareth Bale's injury.

According to the specialist, the "royal" club forced a physically unprepared player to play, resulting in the 24-year-old winger suffering a thigh injury.

"I never criticize other coaches - Carlo Ancelotti is an excellent strategist. However, in the 'La Liga' championships, the speeds are different from the 'Premier' league. Gareth did not participate in the physical preparation camp and was not ready for the upcoming season.

Perhaps Carlo thought he would manage because Bale is an incredible athlete. However, I can confirm that it was already evident during Wales' national team camp that the player was completely unprepared to take to the field," said Coleman.

Gareth Bale will not help his national team in the World Cup qualification matches against Macedonia and Belgium.
