Gareth Bale out for few weeks with calf injury
After sustaining an injury in Tottenham’s League Cup quarter-final win at Stoke, Jose Mourinho has said that Gareth Bale will miss the next few weeks.
Bale, who is on loan from Spanish side Real Madrid, started and scored in the 3-1 win but was withdrawn at half-time.
Mourinho is short of back-up options in attack, insisting that Lucas Moura and Carlos Vinicius were also doubts for Wednesday’s match against Fulham.
“No, I don’t expect him (Bale) to be fit and also I have my doubts that Lucas and Vinicius can be fit for Fulham,” Mourinho said.
“I WOULDN’T SAY IT’S SERIOUS (FOR BALE) BUT I’D SAY A FEW WEEKS.”
Bale, who was named Player of the Year in his final season at Spurs before a then-world record move to Real Madrid in 2013, has yet to live up to his previous standards, scoring only three times for the north London side this season.
Mourinho was also happy with Tanguy Ndombele’s improvement in recent games, especially after he scored in Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers, but said he is not yet fit to play the full 90 minutes.
