‘Recovery is going well’: Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale provides update after ankle surgery

GARETH BALE says his recovery from ankle surgery is “going well” as reports suggest he could still be out for up to four months.

The Real Madrid winger went down during the Champions League clash with Sporting last month.

Surgery on his right ankle followed at a London hospital and it is thought the Wales star is now at home in Cardiff as he continues his rehab.

But in a video clip posted last night he revealed he is feeling better every day.

Bale said: “Recovery is going well, my ankle is feeling better every day.”

It is Bale's second update after he last month posted a photo of his leg elevated.

And he had a message of support for his Los Blancos team-mates, who tonight host a history-chasing Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

The German side can make history with the most goals in the Champions League group stage if they score two at the Bernabeu.

A real win would see them top Group F.

Bale added: "Good luck to the boys against Dortmund. I'll be watching from home. Hala Madrid!"

The 27-year-old was in a rich run of form for Zinedine Zidane's side before picking up the injury.

Bale had scored three goals in his past four games and the La Liga table-toppers have since won twice and drawn with Barcelona since.
