A lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans have been replying to a tweet that was recently posted by Spurs-focused Twitter account @LastWordOnSpurs which relayed an injury update from Wales’ caretaker manager Robert Page concerning Spurs loanee Gareth Bale.
Bale played 78 minutes of Spurs’ Premier League win over West Bromwich Albion last Sunday but after coming off the pitch, an image emerged of the Wales international with an ice pack around his ankle.
However, Wales’ caretaker boss has eased concerns over the 31-year-old’s fitness ahead of Wales’ upcoming international fixtures against the United States, the Republic of Ireland and Finland, as he has confirmed that the attacker “is fit” for those games, indicating that the injury he seemingly sustained for Tottenham versus West Brom was not too serious.
So, how did these Tottenham Hotspur fans react to this injury update on Bale?

One of the Lilywhites fans who replied to this tweet urged Bale to just stay with Spurs for the international break, while another Tottenham supporter went so far as to call for Bale to retire from international football.
ugh please stay at the lane.

However, one particular Spurs supporter wasn’t as concerned as these other Tottenham fans, as they indicated that they aren’t surprised his injury is seemingly not too serious.
Yeah, he jogged of the pitch. He’s fine. Probably a little sore but that’s to be expected. What about Tanguy?

Do you think Bale will get injured on international duty?
YES
NO
So, while one Tottenham fan doesn’t seem to be too concerned about Bale’s fitness, it certainly seems from these replies to this tweet that plenty of Spurs supporters are worried about the possibility of Bale getting injured on international duty.
