Real Madrid's board reportedly wants Zinedine Zidane to make up with Gareth Bale, according to ESPN.

The board believes that Bale remains one of the club's best players when on form.

Zidane downplayed any friction with Bale, who has been linked with a move to China.

"I don't have to convince him: he's here, with us, in training. He's back from his trip and he's getting better. He's not ready yet. We should bring him out to speak to you and tell you what he thinks. But he looks fine to me," said Zidane.
