Gareth Bale remains a doubt for our showdown against Liverpool in the Premier League at Anfield on Wednesday night (8pm).
The winger missed Sunday’s draw at Palace through illness and Jose Mourinho was certainly leaning towards him being unavailable for the Merseyside clash.
“Gareth is still struggling a little,” reported Jose. “Yesterday, he didn’t train with the team, he trained inside, not even outside. At this moment, I would say ‘no’, but let’s see the training session at three o’clock.”
Erik Lamela and Japhet Tanganga remain out. Jose said defender Japhet was likely to be sidelined for two to three weeks after damaging his shoulder against Royal Antwerp last week. “No need for surgery, we believe that conservative treatment will get him fit,” added Jose.
