Bale, no to Rayo, yes to Wales

Gareth Bale's aim was to make it to Saturday's game against Rayo Vallecano with his Real Madrid teammates in order to give himself a chance at being called up for Wales' games against Belarus and Belgium this month.

But he hasn't been able to meet his deadlines at club level, as he's still not training with the squad just five days out from the game. He's been working in the gym so far, and his participation looks increasingly unlikely now.

Despite this, though, Robert Page has called him up for the Wales squad. He will be travelling for international duty, even though he's unlikely to be in perfect condition.

Casemiro is okay

Casemiro did train with his teammates on Monday, having recovered from the blow to the nose he received against Elche. He had more fortune than Mariano Diaz, and he's expected to play against Shakhtar, though Carlo Ancelotti will have the final say.
