Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho admits the next few months represent a 'crucial moment' for Gareth Bale... with the on loan winger in line to start against Brighton in the absence of Harry Kane

Jose Mourinho says the next few months are a 'crucial moment' for Gareth Bale as the Welshman looks to finally kickstart his second spell at the club

Star striker Harry Kane picked up an ankle injury in the defeat against Liverpool and is expected to be ruled out for a number of weeks, handing an opportunity to Bale in attack.

Spurs travel to face Brighton on Sunday evening and Mourinho admitted in his pre-match press conference that in Kane's absence, other players have to 'step up' and admitted the 31-year-old 'can help us' despite just one Premier League start so far this season.
