This is the standard Real Madrid medical report, meaning that there’s no timetable for Bale’s return. However, it’s good to know that his calf injury is only Grade 1, meaning that he could miss only one or two weeks.
Either way, Real Madrid should not rush him back knowing Bale’s history with calf injuries. These ones are always tricky and even more so with the Welshman, who just can’t stay healthy and avoid muscle injuries.
For the moment, Real Madrid will have to do without Bale once again.
