Jose Mourinho has suggested that Gareth Bale could recover from injury ahead of schedule, with it possible that a second debut for Tottenham will be taken in before the October international break.
When announcing the return of a familiar face to north London, Spurs stated that a Wales international seeking to rediscover his spark would not figure any time soon.
A knee problem is keeping Bale on the sidelines at present and it was claimed that he could sit out Premier League, Carabao Cup and Europa League outings before returning to fitness.
