Toni Kroos: 'Inconvenient' If Gareth Bale Plays for Wales, Talks Winger's Future

Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos said it would be "inconvenient" for Los Blancos if Gareth Bale plays for Wales during the upcoming international break.

Bales suffered a calf injury while playing for Wales in October, and he has not featured for Real Madrid since.

Speaking to Real Total's Filip Knopp after Bale was called up for the November international break, Kroos said (h/t Goal'sChris Burton):

"Yes, it seems inconvenient to return from your national team, not playing with your club and then be in the right condition again when you have to return to the national team.
