MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid's Gareth Bale will remain in the Spanish capital to recover from a muscle strain rather than join up with Wales for their World Cup qualifiers against Macedonia and Belgium, the Spanish club's coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Friday.
Bale, who became the world's most expensive player when he joined from Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of 100 million euros ($136 million) in the close season, missed Wednesday's 4-0 Champions League win over FC Copenhagen but was named in the Wales squad for the October 11 and October 15 matches.
