Gallery – Bale trains at Hotspur Way

Here’s an exclusive gallery of Gareth Bale continuing his rehabilitation at Hotspur Way as he works back to full fitness following his arrival from Real Madrid.

Jose Mourinho gave us this update on the Welsh star’s fitness on Wednesday. “He’s working very hard, committed, very professional, very happy, but not yet ready for tomorrow (Thursday v Maccabi Haifa) or the weekend (Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday).

“I believe the two weeks of international (following this weekend’s Premier League fixtures) could be important to his last phase of recovering and fitness, hopefully to play when we’re back on the weekend after internationals. Let’s see if it’s possible to arrive there.”
