Antwerp v Tottenham: What has been said?
Jose Mourinho believes Gareth Bale is ‘arriving’ at peak physical condition ahead of tonight’s clash.
“Bale is playing and we all have not just the feeling, but also the data that Bale is arriving,” he said.
“He is working very hard. He is being quite a great example for everybody. A big guy like him, travelled to Burnley, stayed on the bench for 90 minutes, didn’t play one minute.
“His behaviour as a team guy is incredible. His behaviour as a Tottenham man is remarkable and he is coming.
“I can see just with my eyes but then the scientific data is also coming and he is working very, very well.
“He is improving, he is improving a lot and I think tomorrow we can see already Gareth at a good level and hopefully he can fly because he is working very hard. So he’s playing.”
