Real Madrid coach Solari eases Bale injury fears

Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari admits there's fresh fitness problems for Gareth Bale after victory over Valencia.

Bale was taken off just after the hour mark with another injury.

"He's tired and has some discomfort, the games against Eibar and Roma and today took a lot out of him, it's normal that he's exhausted," Solari said.

"These fans always demand more from everyone, I would like to focus on the players who stood out.

"Karim [Benzema] played tremendously generously, Llorente, Lucas [Vazquez], [Thibaut] Courtois, the central defenders, the full-backs, it was a very complete game from everyone."
