Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane admits Gareth Bale is back in his squad.

Real host Espanyol later today.

Zidane said: “Bale is back with us now. He will feature in the squad tomorrow and I'd like to give him some minutes. He is raring to go and get back into things and we're happy that almost all of the players are back. We have two or three players with a few knocks. They aren't important injuries, but they are knocks.

“We all know Gareth. He really is key for us. He has quality, speed and we are aware of the damage he can do to the opposition.

"We're all happy and him especially as he's coming back into the fold and getting back to playing. He is really excited."
