Bale has not played a minute of football since injuring his calf against Borussia Dortmund on Sept. 26. "We need to make sure he is 100 percent but I don't think he will need a lot of time to recover his fitness, he is feeling good" Zidane told a news conference on Friday ahead of Real's Liga game with Malaga. "The important thing is that he is with us, that he trains, plays, because that will stop all the negative things happening around him. Bale has had a nightmarish 12 months with injuries since rupturing ankle ligaments in a Champions League game at Sporting Lisbon a year ago, which required surgery and kept him out for three months. "I don't know when he will play," Zidane added.
