The pyramidalis is a small muscle of the anterior abdominal wall. The 25-year-old was an unused substitute in Madrid's 5-0 thrashing of Levante on Saturday.
And Real boss Carlo Ancelotti insisted after that game he wouldn't take any risks with Bale's fitness given his side face an even more demanding task when Barcelona visit the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday. However, Madrid sports daily AS reported yesterday that Bale will also miss the first El Clasico of the season.
The European champions sit comfortably on top of Group B with maximum points from their opening two games, three points ahead of Liverpool and Basel.
