More uncertainties pile; A fresh wound as Zinedine casts doubt on Bale’s future at the club

The uncertainties surrounding RealMadrid’s star, Gareth Bale stayat the club continue growing wide after the manager, Zinedine Zidane confirmed that the quad need an overhul without divulging further who is likely to be axed and who is to exit.

Zinedine Zidane has left Gareth Bale’s Real Madrid future in question by refusing to back the Wales star.

Bernabeu boss Zidane , who quit the role last summer but has now returned after the failures of successor Julen Lopetegui and caretaker Santi Solari, said talk over Bale’s situation with the Spanish giants will have to wait until the end of the season.

His statements on Bale are in stark contrast to those he’s made about fellow unsettled stars Raphael Varane and Marcelo, who Zidane quickly confirmed are important to his plans.

“Gareth’s future and other players, we’ll talk about that at the end of the season,” he said, with Madrid already out of the Champions League after winning it in all three of his seasons as coach and just third in La Liga 12 points behind leaders and arch-rivals Barcelona.

“I can confirm that we will have to make changes next season, but now is not the time to talk about it.”

Bale has endured a difficult season and been on the receiving end of harsh treatment from his own fans and teammates, sparking a furious reaction in defence of the 29 year-old from his agent, Jonathan Barnett.

Barnett has also confirmed Bale wants to stay at the Bernabeu for the rest of his playing days.

Zidane’s return was another setback for the former Tottenham star, whose relationship with the Frenchman was strained by the end of his first spell in charge.

Last month, Barnett admitted: “Gareth wanted to play one way and Zidane wanted to play another. That was the cause of it and over a period of time it got worse.”

Bale, who has a won a string of trophies and scored over 100 goals since his 2013 move to Madrid, was jeered once more during Sunday’s underwhelming win over rock-bottom Huesca.

But iconic former Madrid player Zidane did say he believes Bale has the character to cope.

He said: “I know whistles. It’s never good. You have to accept it. I was whistled. You have to have the character for it and I think the players that are here have sufficient character to deal with it.”
