Gareth Bale back at Real Madrid without shirt number!

Gareth Bale has returned to Real Madrid this summer - with his old number now taken.

Bale has lost the No11 shirt to teammate Marco Asensio, having spent last season on-loan with Tottenham.

The Wales captain finds himself without a number, with few available.

At the moment all the numbers (from 1 to 25) are covered at Real Madrid except 16, which was worn by Borja Mayoral before he left for Roma.

Not only Bale is without a number, but also Dani Ceballos, Martin Odegaard and Luka Jovic, all of whom return from their respective loans.
