Gareth Bale will not play any part in Real Madrid's pre-season tournament in Munich.

The Welsh forward has pulled out his sides' trip to Germany after his proposed move to China fell through.

According to sources close to the club, Bale is not in the right mental state to play competitive football.

Earlier this week Florentino Perez, Real Madrid's president, stopped Bale from joining Jiangsu Suning.
