And he is now in line for a recall, although Sunday's visit of Las Palmas may be too early.

Los Blancos were surprised when Bale was called up by Chris Coleman for the friendlies against France and Panama.

But the Wales chief is trying to avoid a row by assuring Bernabeu chiefs they will have the final say over hsi involvement.

Coleman said: "We are in open dialogue with Real. We will be governed by what they say.

"He will be training with us because he is at a good level. If they say he can play 10 or 20 minutes then great, if they say no then absolutely not.

"We will tell them [Real] this is where he is and they will get data off us everyday like they always do," Coleman added.

"We will know anyway when we see him but if Madrid say he is not playing, he is not playing.

"If they say he can play 20 or 30 that is exactly what will happen but we are just delighted that he is going to be involved in some capacity."
