Bale out for only two weeks

PREMIER LEAGUE: Tottenham v Everton

Bale was carried off on a stretcher during the dying seconds of Spurs’ 2-2 draw against Basle on Thursday night, prompting fears the 22-goal striker could be out for a lengthy period.

The Welshman, Aaron Lennon and William Gallas — who also had to come off during the Europa League quarter-final first leg — all underwent scans yesterday and the news was positive for the London club.
