Real Madrid star Gareth Bale is struggling to make their Champions League clash with Liverpool.
The Welsh ace was missing for victory at Levante on Saturday.
The winger was omitted complaining of a strain and 'discomfort in the buttock'.
Concerning for Real management is that Bale failed to make training yesterday and isn't expected to appear today.
Indeed, if Bale misses the clash with Liverpool, there are reports the injury could also force him out of the El Clasico this weekend against Barcelona.
