Gareth Bale still looks surplus to requirements at Real Madrid after Zinedine Zidane left him out of his squad for a pre-season friendly with RB Salzburg.
Bale missed Real's trip to Germany for the Audi Cup last week after his proposed transfer to Chinese club Jiangsu Suning collapsed.
It is understood Bale skipped the trip as he was furious with his treatment at the hands of Real boss Zinedine Zidane and president Florentino Perez and felt he was not in the right frame of mind to play.
The Wales forward's future at the Bernabeu has been uncertain since Zidane returned to manage Real for a second time in March.
