Gareth Bale will undergo surgery on the ankle injury he suffered this week in the Champions League.

Bale is likely to miss up to three months recovering from the surgery.

A Madrid statement read: “Real Madrid’s medical services have decided that Gareth Bale will undergo surgery as a result of the peroneal tendon injury in his right ankle.

“This operation will take place at the King Edward VII Hospital in London on Tuesday 29 November by Dr James Calder, under the supervision of the club doctors Jesus Olmo and Mikel Aramberri.”
