I've only focused on Wales World Cup playoff - Bale

Wales captain Gareth Bale has infuriated Real Madrid fans after comments yesterday.

Bale was again missing for Sunday's home thrashing by Barcelona due to injury, though has declared himself fully fit for Wales' World Cup playoff against Austria.

He declared, "It's normal to have some discomfort, but in general I'm in pretty good shape. I've been training for two and a half months.

"I'm in much better shape than the last time I was here focused. I'm ready to play whatever happens tomorrow."

Of his future in Madrid, Bale continued: "I have not thought about that at all. Since I knew we were going to be in this situation (the World Cup playoff), I have only focused on this.

"Thinking about the future can generate doubts, that's why I have not done it. What happens in the future, I will decide in the future."
