If Bale has a knock, four weeks before his first game sounds reasonable as the last game before the national team break will be in just two weeks. The break is two weeks so West Ham October 17th in four weeks could be his first game.

I hope I'm not missing any games and I hope that Bale actually doesn't have a knock.

It has two by-lines, there'll be some truth in it, at least as the Marca editor is concerned.

It really isn't. Do you live in Spain or speak Spanish? Do you read Marca regularly?

It's extremely even-handed, given that it's obviously based in Madrid.

The 'out for 4 weeks' news isn't really news as everyone was mentioning it yesterday.
