Bale is in London to join Tottenham, but he's injured for a month!

Gareth Bale's signing will be made official by Tottenham in the coming hours but the Welshman will have to wait at least a month for his debut.

The forward has arrived in London already carrying an injury, meaning Spurs will have to be patient with their returning hero.

After returning from international duty injured, Bale had been working in the gym at Valdebebas but no information about his condition was made known, as has been the way with the No.11 at Real Madrid.

Now, though, Spurs' medical team have been able to verify that he will need to be sidelined for another four weeks at least.
