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'm captaining Michu as opposed to Sess this week.

    I learned by benching him, Davies and Begovic last week that:

    form > fixtures.

      fair enough. also learn that two fixtures is greater than one and reduces risk of getting it wrong.

      if michu scores 2 goals this week - he gets 16pts.

      if sess gets one goal in either of the games - he will get 12pts min

        Yeah, I do agree with you there and considered this.

        On the other hand, Michu has 40% ownership as opposed to 3% for Sess. I feel that many will captain Michu this week.

        Most indecisive I've been over a transfer this season. Can't decide on Bale to Sess or Bale to Adam Johnson.

        Stats are similar - it's weighing up a goal threat against an assist threat. I've been slightly more impressed with Johnson than Sess from what I've seen though.

        Leaning more towards Johnson but being swayed by all the Sess chat on here...

                  tevez wont play most likely. berba has easy fixtures coming up.

                  bale to walcott is another option

      Okay, midfield and forwards are:

      Walcott - Fellaini - Michu - Sterling
      RVP - Long

      So I need one more mid and one more forward, and money is no issue, any suggestions? 🙂

        Although Theres a slight chance that Silva wont make it ! But never mind, play him. If he starts cud get some pts.
