Bale injury takes shine off Spurs win at Fulham

An injury to Gareth Bale has taken the shine off Tottenham’s 3-0 win at Fulham earlier today.

The Welsh winger picked up an hamstring injury during the display at Craven Cottage after he was forced to hobble off after taking a shot at goal.

The cold weather might have been at fault as Michael Dawson also picked up a “hammy” but his twinge is less severe than Bale’s.

Bale is likely to miss the matches against Panathinaikos, Everton, Swansea and possibly Stoke.

“Both Bale and Dawson have suffered hamstring muscle injuries,” the Spurs boss said in his post-match press conference.

“One looks more serious than the other although both are controllable.

“With muscle injuries it’s very difficult but it might keep him out for one to weeks. Dawson a little bit less.”
