Welshman Bale, 29, returned to training on Thursday and was also present during Friday’s session at Valdebebas as Los Blancos gear up for Saturday’s trip to Alaves (8.30pm kick-off UAE time).
Bale, who was substituted at half-time during the Madrid Derby draw against Atletico Madrid with a minor adductor injury and missed Tuesday’s Champions League defeat at the hands of CSKA Moscow, is likely to be among the first XI.
Including last week’s 3-0 defeat to Sevilla, the Whites have now failed to scored in each of their last three matches for the first time since the 2006-07 campaign.
News of fit-again Bale’s return is a welcome boost as Real continue to jostle for position with Barcelona at the top of La Liga table.
