Real Madrid's forward Gareth Bale and right-back Dani Carvajal are going to miss their team's La Liga match on Wednesday against Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
Bale, who is suffering a new muscle injury, did not train with his team-mates here on Tuesday and will miss the important match in Madrid's fight for the La Liga title, reports Efe.
"He will miss tomorrow's game, hopefully it will be only an overload," coach Zinedine Zidane said when asked about the absence of the Welshman in the last training.
Madrid coach said Bale felt pain during the match against Getafe but said that he did not believe that the player's presence in a golf event after the match increased the problem.
Zidane said Carvajal has sustained a bad bruise and will not play on Wednesday.
