Gareth Bale arrives in Los Angeles ahead of "El Trafico"

marca.com, 8 July 2022, 21:38
Welshman solved work visa problem and could make his debut.

LAFC's new star Gareth Bale is in Los Angeles ahead of this Friday night's El Trafico clash between LAFC and LA Galaxy at the Banc of California Stadium.

According to the official MLS website, Bale is unlikely to play after landing in the United States and not training with his new teammates.

The Welsh star has already been cleared to play in the competition, but it has not been confirmed whether or not he will appear in the LAFC match. If he does not make his debut this Friday, he will have to wait until next Sunday, July 17, when LAFC visits Nashville SC in Tennessee.

Bale officially signed at the end of June, signing a 12-month contract through 2023. The 32-year-old's deal includes options through 2024. However, some visa issues delayed his arrival longer than expected.

Bale, who was key to Wales qualifying for their first World Cup in 64 years, will play a starring role in his new team and will be one of the biggest stars and attractions of the competition.
