Tottenham Hotspur attacker Gareth Bale is a doubt for the league game with Manchester City on Saturday evening as his struggles to stay fit for an extended period continues. Gareth Bale has not played for Tottenham Hotspur since the recent loss to hosts Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League. Welshman Gareth Bale was off form as Spurs were stunned 1-0 by Brighton. Bale has not been able to recapture his old form on his return to Tottenham Hotspur at the start of the campaign. Gareth Bale made a sensational return to Spurs in September 2020 after he signed for them on loan from Real Madrid and he was expected to form a deadly front trio with Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min but this expectation has not been met.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho has revealed that Welsh international Gareth Bale will return to his squad for the next league game, a top-of-the-table clash with Liverpool at Anfield. He made this known while fielding questions from reporters shortly after the disappointing 1-1 draw with hosts Crystal Palace in the London Derby. In his post-match press conference after the matchday twelve clash with hosts Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, Mourinho said that Gareth Bale missed the London Derby meeting due to illness and that the Welshman has not tested positive to Covid-19.

Tottenham Hotspur winger Gareth Bale is nearing full fitness, a piece of news that will come as a huge boost to not just Jose Mourinho, but to the club, as well as the fans. José will be excited at the prospect of finally having a fully fit Bale available for selection as they approach a tough run of fixtures in the coming weeks.
