Gareth Bale out for season

Gareth Bale out for season

04 February 2008 - 17:39

The Wales international has injured his foot and will miss the rest of the season

  • Chelsea defender on his way to Leeds United?
  • Chelsea ready to hand Nicolas Jackson fresh chance
  • Spurs fans had hoped they would see the left-back back in action towards the end of the season after being sidelined since last December.



    "Although the surgeon was happy with the results of the X-rays he does not anticipate Gareth playing any further part this season," said Spurs sporting director Damian Comolli.



    The sprain to his ligament will be a setback for Tottenham boss Juande Ramos. "We are all disappointed, but his long-term fitness is our priority."



    The 18-year old has been impressive in his 12 appearances and he had proved that he is versatile and can play in defence as well as mid-field.
