Gareth Bale began his journey back to full fitness after he was pictured in Tottenham training with fellow new signing Carlos Vinicius for the first time since the duo's arrival.
The 31-year-old Welshman has yet to make his second Spurs debut after re-joining the club from Real Madrid in the summer window following a knee problem sustained on international duty last month.
But having returned to individual training a week ago, he appeared all smiles as he took part in collective training on Wednesday with Brazilian striker Vinicius, who arrived last week on a season-long loan from Benfica.
