Former Real Madrid GM Jorge Valdano believes coach Zinedine Zidane has no plans to work with Gareth Bale.

Indeed, the Argentine reckons the feeling is mutual, with the Wales captain showing no great interest to play a major role in Real's LaLiga restart.

Valdano told El Transistor: "Zidane needs to have all the players very involved, all except Bale who seems to have already ruled it out.

"Bale doesn't seem to care too much either.

"Coaches know when a player asks them to play."

Valdano added: "I don't like this football. Soccer without fans is mutilated soccer."
