'The decision is going to be for the good of the team, but also for him': Jose Mourinho hints that he will throw Gareth Bale straight in for his second Tottenham debut against West Ham after recovering from knee injury

Jose Mourinho has dropped a hint that Gareth Bale could make his second Tottenham debut against West Ham on Sunday.

The Welsh-winger has yet to make an appearance since his return to the club on loan, after suffering a knee injury over the summer.

Bale has been working hard on his fitness over the past month at Tottenham's training ground and he is now on the verge of making his first appearance for the club since he left in 2013.
