Harry: Bale will start on the bench

HARRY REDKNAPP plans to hand Gareth Bale a place on Tottenham’s bench for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League match against Wolves.

Bale was a major doubt for the game having missed the last seven weeks with a back injury, but he came through a light training session yesterday and will train with his team-mates today in the hope that he will be fit for Sunday, and the club’s Champions League clash with AC Milan three days later.

“I’m hopeful he will be fit for Milan. He did a bit with the fitness coaches this morning and he will come out and train with us tomorrow,” Redknapp told talkSPORT.
