Bale back for Spurs after hamstring injury

Gareth Bale has recovered from his hamstring injury and is available for Tottenham’s Barclays Premier League game against Stoke tomorrow.

Scott Parker continued his comeback from an Achilles problem with a run-out in the under-21s on Monday and could feature against the Potters while fellow long-term injury victim Benoit Assou-Ekotto (knee) was due to have a test today to see if he is fit enough to play.
