During his presentation to start his second stint as Madrid’s coach on Wednesday, Ancelotti said that he expected Bale to return —- and play well — from his loan at Tottenham.
Bale returned to Tottenham on loan in September after seven years away and has had a mixed season with form and fitness issues dominating his second spell in north London.
Bale scored twice in the club’s 4-0 win over Burnley; Chelsea kept its unbeaten record under manager Thomas Tuchel in a 0-0 draw with Man United.

With a contract running at Madrid until 2022, Bale could rejoin Tottenham on a loan deal rather than a permanent signing.
Neither player was summoned for Tuesday's training match against Getafe, the last for Madrid before its league opener on Sunday.
Bale was earlier left out of Real's final LaLiga clash as well. He cut an awkward figure after Real's 34th league win and speculations have been rife about his future at Santiago Bernabeu.
Zidane's decision comes after Bale played in just two of Madrid's 11 LaLiga games following the return of the competition in June and sat on the sidelines for their last seven games of the domestic campaign.
