Real Madrid senior players tell Bale: Many of us are playing with pain

Real Madrid senior players are unimpressed by the latest injury complaint for Gareth Bale.

Bale is missing for a fortnight due to a calf injury suffered in the draw with Villarreal last week.

El Chiringuito reports two crisis meetings were held yesterday amongst the players inside the locker room over their dismal start to 2019.

And after a no holds barred clear the air summit for the first get together, the second held saw senior teammates demanding more from Bale.

Bale was told that many other players are playing with pain and not crying off. He was also questioned about playing in the Club World Cup and then complaining about a calf strain last week.
