Bale waits on injury news.
If the result against Blackpool wasn’t bad enough, the sight of Gareth Bale being stretchered off topped off an awful afternoon for Tottenham Hotspur. The injury looked serious and he left White Hart Lane in a protective boot last night.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Harry Redknapp said: “It looked a bad challenge, to be fair. It might not be so bad. He might have done his ligament; it may just be a twist. I don’t know, we will have to wait and see.”
This latest set back is another in a long line for the newly crowned PFA player of the year. Hopefully the injury is not too bad and he can get a full pre-season under his belt.
