Bale is definitely a talented player. And he has proven his skills many times in the past. I am hopeful that he will play well again under the leadership of Ancelotti. Moreover, no other striker of the team was successful in the previous season except Benzemaa. Ancelotti needs to use Benzema, Bale and Hazard properly this season.
It looks like the three of them will make a good trio under Ancelotti, but I'm not sure Bale will earn a regular place in the first team throughout the season. It's true that Bale is a player who contributed a lot to Real Madrid in the past, but after he started to fall I don't think he will ever be able to reach the same level again. Things are different now for him and I doubt Ancelotti will give him the full game for the whole game. At 32 years old, it looks like the prime of his career is over and it will be very difficult to win the trust of a coach who want the strength of younger players.

and Carlo Ancelotti has never issued a statement in media if Bale is included in his scheme next season.
I don't think he will be on the bench for the rest of the season, he will still get minute under Ancelotti.
