The soleus injury means the Wales star is likely to miss the Champions League clash on Wednesday against Paris Saint-Germain.
"Following the tests carried out on Gareth Bale in the Sanitas la Moraleja University Hospital, the player has been diagnosed with a soleus muscle injury in his left leg. His recovery will continue to be assessed,"
Bale limped out of last month's 4-0 Champions League Group A win at home to Shakhtar Donetsk with a calf injury, the fourth time in just two years he has injured the leg.
Bale played 45 minutes in Real Madrid's 3-0 win over Levante and was substituted by Lucas Vazquez. On Sunday he went to a private clinic for treatment, AS reported, and on Monday he did not train with the team.
"After the 2-0 score and with the intense week he had, we saw that he was tired and that was the moment to put fresh legs in the match," Benitez said.
