Gareth Bale suffered a calf injury against Stoke and is out for a “few weeks” (Mike Egerton/PA)Tottenham have been dealt an injury blow with the news that Gareth Bale is out for a “few weeks” with a calf injury. Mourinho confirms that Gareth Bale asked to come off at half-time as he was feeling an injury. “I don’t expect him to be fit and also I have my doubts that Lucas and Vinicius can be fit for Fulham,” Mourinho said. “I believe, to play at this intensity – Premier League intensity – and to last for 90 minutes is of course another step in the direction of his fitness. Others are more explosive but they don’t last for 90 minutes.
