Gareth Bale was left out of Tottenham's matchday squad to face Everton in the FA Cup by Jose Mourinho in the latest low for the Welshman since his return to north London.
Bale returned to great fanfare on loan from Real Madrid in the summer but he has struggled and Sportsmail revealed last week that Tottenham have questioned Bale's appetite to turn things around.
He was not afforded the chance to show his talents on Wednesday night as Mourinho elected to leave him out, instead extending the olive branch to Dele Alli, who has also routinely found himself out of favour.
