Ancelotti calm about Bale fitness

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti insisted he is not concerned about the general fitness of Gareth Bale after the Welshman missed Real's 4-0 win over FC Copenhagen due to a thigh strain.

It is the second time in two weeks that Bale has been sidelined by a thigh problem as he also missed the league matches against Getafe and Elche.

And Ancelotti hinted he will miss Saturday's game away to Levante as well as Wales' remaining World Cup qualifiers against Macedonia and Belgium before returning after the international break.
