Gareth Bale battles thigh injury ahead of Madrid derby.

Gareth Bale faces a wait to see if he will be fit enough to make his Real Madrid home debut in next weekend's derby against Atletico Madrid.
Bale was set to make his Bernabeu debut against Getafe on Sunday, but pulled out of the starting XI after injuring his thigh in the pre-match warm-up.

Real Madrid coach
The Welshman, who signed from Tottenham for a world-record fee of £85m in the summer, had a scan on Monday.
"Fatigue in the left thigh muscle was found. It will be treated," said Real.
Bale, who was replaced by Spain international Isco minutes before the start of Real's 4-1 win, is likely to miss Wednesday's La Liga trip to newly-promoted Elche.
But coach Carlo Ancelotti said he was hopeful that the 24-year-old forward would be fit to play in his first El Derbi Madrileno against Atletico on Saturday.
"It is difficult to recover in three days, I am sure he will be ready for the game on Saturday," said the Italian following the victory against Getafe.
"He had a small problem and we hope it is resolved quickly."
Bale made a goalscoring debut for Real in last weekend's 2-2 draw at Villarreal and also came on as a substitute in the midweek 6-1 victory over Champions League opponents Galatasaray.
But he was forced to watch from the stands as Getafe took a shock fourth-minute lead through midfielder Angel Lafita.
Rampant Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo's brace against Getafe takes his Real Madrid tally to 208 goals in 205 games. He is now fifth in Los Blancos' all-time goalscoring chart.

Real levelled within a quarter of an hour when Portuguese defender Pepe bundled in from close range, before Cristiano Ronaldo converted a 33rd-minute penalty to put Real ahead at the break.
Isco scored his fifth goal since a £23m summer move from Malaga to put them 3-1 ahead just before the hour.
Getafe were reduced to 10 men when defender Michel received a late red card for hauling down Real substitute Jese Rodriguez, before Ronaldo netted his second with a cheeky backheel in injury time.
Real moved third in La Liga with 13 points from five games and are two behind joint leaders Barcelona and Atletico, who both maintained perfect starts with wins on Saturday.
