Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale has suffered a minor muscle discomfort but there is no serious issue, according to the Spanish club's medical staff.

The Wales international player was forced off in the second half of their La Liga match against Espanyol on Saturday after appearing to suffer from cramp or tightness in his right calf.

Bale had been involved in several key passes and attacks for Los Blancos during the game, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

However, Real Madrid's medical team have confirmed that the 28-year-old forward is not facing any major issues and will be available for selection for the upcoming Champions League clash with Ajax on Tuesday night.

The injury comes just days after Bale scored two goals in the Champions League group stage against Paris Saint-Germain, helping Los Blancos to progress to the knockout stages of the competition.

Despite the setback, Real Madrid remain confident that they can overcome Ajax in Amsterdam and secure a place in the last eight of the tournament.

It remains to be seen how long Bale will be out for, but given his importance to the team, it could potentially impact their chances of progressing further in Europe.

In the meantime, Real Madrid will hope to bounce back from this latest setback and continue their winning run in La Liga and the Champions League.

That's a great summary! Could you add some information about Bale's previous injuries? I'm curious to know if he has had any recurring ones before.
