Bale: Suffers ankle ligament damage against Blackpool<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tottenham winger Gareth Bale will be out for the remainder of the season, the club have confirmed.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old Welsh wideman was on the receiving end of a bad challenge from Blackpool’s Charlie Adam during the 1-1 stalemate at White Hart Lane on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

An MRI scan has revealed that Bale has suffered ruptured ankle ligament damage and that he will miss Spurs’ remaining fixtures this term.<\/span><\/p>\n

A statement on the club’s official website<\/em> said: “An MR scan today (Monday) has revealed that Gareth Bale has suffered a ruptured ankle ligament.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The Wales international was forced off with the injury in the second half of our weekend fixture against Blackpool.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Following consultations with an ankle specialist, Gareth will remain in a protective boot for up to 12 days before beginning rehabilitation with the player expected to be fit for the start of pre-season.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Bale has been one of the revelations of the Premier League this term after a blistering campaign that recently saw him named PFA Player of the Year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fantastic year<\/span><\/h4>\n

Superb domestic form earlier in the season coupled with some remarkable performances in the UEFA Champions league have made the youngster one of Europe’s most coveted players.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bale hit a hat-trick in the San Siro against Inter Milan before tearing the Nerazzurri apart in the home fixture against the Italians in North London.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was forced off on a stretcher against the Tangerines after a nasty challenge from Adam at the weekend, although the Scottish midfielder was not penalised.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bale left White Hart Lane on crutches wearing a protective boot and Harry Redknapp admitted that a return this season was unlikely.<\/span><\/p>\n

Redknapp’s fears have now been confirmed and the Spurs boss must now hope that he can make a swift recovery and be ready for pre-season training.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bale will miss games against Manchester City, Liverpool and Birmingham as Tottenham look to finish the year on a high.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
