The former Tottenham Hotspur forward did not feature in Real Madrid’s trip to Granada due to injury problems but was expected to be back to full fitness against Athletic Bilbao.
His absence will be a huge blow to Zinedine Zidane, whose side lack squad rotation this season. With fatigue crippling in, it would require extra energy and commitment for Los Blancos to dismiss Bilbao, Roma, Malaga and their bitter rivals Atletico Madrid in their next four fixtures in all competitions.
Since joining Real Madrid, the Welsh player has had a total of 9 injuries. Here is a quick preview of his injury record with the Spanish giants, according to TransferMarkt. .jpg)
Despite the injury problems facing him this season, the 26-year-old has scored 13 goals in 15 appearances in La Liga this season. He has also created 38 chances for the 2011/2012 La Liga champions.
