Gareth Bale is likely to miss the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Juventus.

The two teams clash on Tuesday night in Turin.

According to Spanish paper Marca, Bale has still not fully recovered from a calf injury he sustained in Madrid’s 3-1 victory over Malaga last month.

His fitness levels are unconvincing, although he did travel with the squad for today’s trip to Sevilla in La Liga.

Javier Hernandez likely to get the nod again in the Welshman’s absence.
