Tottenham have confirmed the return of Gareth Bale on a season long loan from Real Madrid and have handed him the number nine shirt.
However, supporters will have to wait until after the next international break for his Tottenham debut after his medical uncovered a knee injury.
Tottenham had anticipated that having barely played Bale would require more time initially to undergo a personal training programme to prepare for the rigours of the Premier League but the injury he picked up while on international duty means he is setting his sights on the home fixture with West Ham on October 17 for his possible debut.
