In what is quite a bit of sad news on the eve of their season opener, Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard has picked up a hamstring injury and is bound to be sidelined for 4-8 weeks. As such, Gareth Bale's role in the upcoming season has once again become a topic of discussion.

Bale was initially all set to be offloaded. However, Marco Asensio's injury meant that Real Madrid had to keep him and now with Hazard also unavailable, Zizou has no choice but to turn to the Welshman.

Speaking about Bale, the Real Madrid manager said,

“It seemed that he was going, but now he is with us,”
“Things change and now I will be using him as much as the other players in the squad. I'm going to use all the players I've got. He is registered with us and he is a good player. I hope all the players here want to make things difficult for me."
