Bale blow for Spurs as manager Redknapp admits winger could miss Chelsea clash

Fitness fight: Spurs winger Gareth Bale (centre) has an ankle injury

Tottenham may have to do without Gareth Bale for Thursday's crunch clash against Chelsea after manager Harry Redknapp revealed the pacy winger is struggling with an ankle injury.

Bale sprained his ankle during training on Friday and missed Sunday's 1-0 win over Sunderland at White Hart Lane.

The Londoners felt Bale's absence dearly as they lacked the pace and penetration the Welshman offers in devastating fashion down the left flank, and they received another blow when Aaron Lennon had to come off in the first half with a suspected hamstring tear.
