Bale Ruled out of Toffees Trip

Andre Villas-Boas has brought us more news on Gareth Bale’s hamstring injury, following today’s training session ahead of Tottenham’s Europa League tie with Panathinaikos.

The Spurs boss has confirmed Bale will miss the trip to Everton but remains confident that the Welshman will be back in the frame for the home clash with Swansea in Gameweek 17…

“He will not make Everton but could be back for next weekend. But I have other options and I have excellent players.”

The prognosis is in line with Facer’s From the Physio article posted last night, which suggested that we will see Bale return against the Swans.

The news is likely to see Gylfi Sigurdsson drafted into the Spurs starting XI for the Goodison trip, although Emmanuel Adebayor is also available after suspension to offer the Spurs boss the option of shifting Clint Dempsey to a flank role. Meanwhile, confirmation of Bale’s absence could well lead to a surge in sales ahead of the weekend – the Welshman has already suffered almost 70,000 transfers out this week, with his value dropping by 0.1.

Villas-Boas also revealed that both Scott Parker and Benoit Assou-Ekotto are very close to returns – they could both come into contention for the White Hart Lane clash a week on Sunday.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

        I have the armband on him too at this point. Sess & Sunderland's stats over the past 4 gameweeks have been pretty encouraging and suggest their attacking has picked up from earlier in the season. Sess is among the top 7 or so for attacking threat, and Sunderland are in the top half at least as a team for attacking threat. Throw in a DGW and why not

          Frankly speaking no way to see Bale below 9.7m...

      I reckon he will - plenty of people will log in on Fri, see the red flag and sell.

        Red flag will up his drop threshold to 70k - we probably need it to stay orange a bit longer...

    Is it pointless playing Gorkss over Sterling? Apparently he's out of favour.

      You can indeed. Or you can just bench him as he won't be playing.

      Tough one. You have Sunderland attacking cover, and getting 2 Sunderland attackers out next week will just be a pain. Possibly get Michu in for Bale, or someone for Tevez.

      Hoping for a cagey Manchester derby then? I could make a case for all of your defenders, just pick them and I hope you pick the right ones.
