Report: Gareth Bale to make second Tottenham Hotspur debut against West Ham United

According to The Daily Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur forward Gareth Bale will make his second debut for the club immediately after the international break against West Ham United. Spurs host the Hammers in the Premier League next Sunday (October 18), and the Wales international is expected to feature having fully recovered since returning to North London during the summer transfer window. Bale joined Tottenham on a season-long loan from Real Madrid and is expected to make the move permanent afterwards. The 31-year-old had a knee injury upon returning to the club, and while he was deemed close to full fitness ahead of the victory over Manchester United, head coach Jose Mourinho decided not to risk him.
