Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has confirmed that Gareth Bale suffered a fresh injury setback in the team's clash with Unionistas de Salamanca on Wednesday.

After being left out of the squad for the La Liga match with Sevilla last weekend, the Wales international was included in the starting XI for the Copa del Rey contest, in which Los Blancos ran out 3-1 winners.

However, after twisting his ankle, Bale hobbled out of the match on 53 minutes. Afterwards Zidane provided an update on his condition.
