Bale didn't want to play against Man City - Zidane

Share This
Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane has said Gareth Bale was left out of the squad to face Manchester City because he "didn't want to play".

His omission from the travelling party this week fuelled speculation over his future and now Zidane has said this was the player's choice.

Zidane said: "It was a personal conversation I had with him. He preferred not to play. The rest remains between me and him but he said he didn't want to."

Zidane said former Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard, who has endured an injury-hit season, was fit to feature after overcoming an ankle problem.

Zidane said: "It is true he was feeling it a bit towards the end of the (La Liga) season, but now he is much better than he was. We have had a lot of time to prepare for this game and I think he is OK and full of confidence."

Recall that Manchester City won first leg 2-1 in February.
