Gareth Bale works alone ahead of Madrid v Espanyol
Los Blancos took their last training session before the clash against the Pericos
Real Madrid completed their last training session at Valdebebas ahead of their clash with Espanyol on Saturday, affected by a new plague of injuries: Marcelo, Eden Hazard, Marco Asensio, James Rodríguez and Lucas Vázquez were absent, while Gareth Bale worked alone.
Zinedine Zidane will likely be without the Welsh winger who is not officially injured but cannot work with his team-mates. Bale will also likely not feature against Brugge in the UCL midweek, now an irrelevant game for Madrid, and instead try to recover to face Valencia ahead of the Camp Nou Clasico.
With the six absentees, Zidane reinforced his group by pulling on the B team - Miguel Gutierrez and Esteban worked with the squad.
