\"Gareth Gareth Bale will have a scan on his damaged ankle<\/span> <\/p>\n

Wales manager Gary Speed has backed star winger Gareth Bale to make a quick recovery from his ankle injury.<\/p>\n

Bale will have a scan on Monday following a tackle by Charlie Adam in Tottenham’s 1-1 draw with Blackpool.<\/p>\n

Speed will now be hoping the 21-year-old can play for Wales at the Four Associations’ Tournament later this month.<\/p>\n

“He’s a fit lad so hopefully he will recover quickly,” he told BBC Wales.<\/p>\n

Bale was taken off on a stretcher following a tackle from Adam in the 64th minute of the clash with Blackpool at White Hart Lane on Saturday.<\/p>\n

And the Professional Footballers’ Association player of the year will have a scan on Monday to determine the extent of the damage.<\/p>\n

“It was a bad tackle,” added Speed, who was speaking after watching Llanelli beat Bangor City 4-1 in the Welsh Cup at Parc y Scarlets on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“It could have easily been a break but hopefully it will just be ankle ligaments.<\/p>\n

“Gareth’s very strong so hopefully it won’t be too bad.”<\/p>\n

The injury looks certain to keep Bale out of Spurs’ match against Manchester City at Eastlands on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
