As I said on twitter one of the reason he was injured alot with us early on was because he had a bad back injury as a result of growing

So it seems strange it has come back as it was said he grew out of it

They say its a ticking a time bomb as to when it needs surgery, which means if we found out we have screwed them over as paying £86million for player who could be out of the season at anytime could hugely affect his value

Perhaps we can buy him back at a 75% discount?

What I read this morning was that Perez was aware of a back problem but wanted the deal done regardless.

The Spurs backroom staff have devised a special fitness programme for the Welshman who has suffered postural difficulties dating back to his time at Southampton

EXCLUSIVE
By Wayne Veysey | Chief correspondent in Madrid

Tottenham have devised a tailor-made exercise programme for Gareth Bale to ease his pain from back-related injuries and get him fit for the club's biggest match in a generation, Goal.com UK can reveal.

The 21-year-old midfielder has suffered from unique postural problems since he was a youth-team player coming through the ranks at Southampton.

Sources close to the player have revealed that Bale has been given a strict programme of regular exercises by his club, Tottenham, to correct the genetic posture condition.

It is said to be key to the midfielder overcoming the problems that have blighted him this year and fulfilling his potential as one of the outstanding young players in Europe.

Bale has completed only one match since suffering a back injury at the end of January that led to a six-week lay-off and has contributed to a series of niggling injuries to his hamstrings, thighs and groin.

There has been doubt about whether he would recover in time for the first leg of Spurs’ Champions League quarter-final clash with Real Madrid but fitness and medical staff at White Hart Lane are confident that if Bale adheres to the procedure he can be pain-free for the season run-in.

“Gareth has had postural problems for six or seven years, before he broke into the first team at Southampton,” a source told Goal.com UK. “It is just the way he is built. He is going to be more at risk of the type of injuries he has been getting.

“People have very different postures that affect their spines. Some people have more load based on their posture, so it is about reducing the load that goes through the body.

“Surgery will not solve it. If he was to have surgery, Gareth will still be built in the same way.”

Bale's problems are not too dissimilar to those suffered by Steven Gerrard when he first emerged on the scene at Liverpool a decade ago. After being forced into frequent back-related problems that also affected his groin, hamstrings and thighs, a French osteopath changed the Liverpool man's posture and manipulated his body back into shape.

Similarly, there are no fears among the Tottenham staff that Bale’s conditions cannot be treated.

“It is very easily managed,” explained the source. “Gareth has a programme to get his back aligned and get his body in sync that is set by the people who work with him [at Spurs].

“Basically, they are a series of correctal, floor-based mat exercises to keep him in a stable position, including ones that switch the glutes on, switch the core muscles on and alleviate the hamstrings.

“Gareth does certain exercises on set days depending on the intensity of the days. He is learning how to manage and understand his body. The soreness and tears and strains are all similar symptoms.”

The latest problem to dog Bale following his recovery from the back problem has been the hamstring injury that forced him to sit out Wales’ Euro 2012 qualifier against England 10 days ago.

However, the midfielder has made good progress under the watchful eyes of his club’s medical and fitness staff. He returned to full first-team training last Thursday following three days of conditioning and non-football exercises.

Although Bale was absent from Spurs’ goal-less draw against Wigan Athletic at the weekend, it was partly with the Real Madrid clash in mind.

He trained with his team-mates at the Santiago Bernabeu on Monday night and manager Harry Redknapp said the Welshman will play against Jose Mourinho’s team if he suffers no setback from the final session before the match.

With Cristiano Ronaldo also passed fit by Mourinho, there is the mouthwatering prospect of two of the world's most exciting wide players crossing swords. The Portuguese had played some mind games about Ronaldo's fitness in the build-up but Redknapp was convinced he would always feature.

“He’s a certainty,” Redknapp said before adding: “Real Madrid are one of the great clubs of world football. Maybe they are the favourites but there is a confidence that we can do the job.”

That confidence has been boosted with the knowledge that William Gallas was able to train on Monday and he is set to take part in a match which Spurs may go into with two goalkeepers on the bench because of a crippling injury list.

Steven Pienaar, who has not travelled because of a groin complaint, and Niko Kranjcar, with a sore foot, are the latest to drop out. Defensive options, in particular, are depleted, with long-term victims Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate no closer to a return and Alan Hutton ruled out for the rest of the season after having knee surgery.

“This will be our most difficult game so far,” Redknapp said. “I do think that whoever wins the Champions League will have to beat the two Spanish teams.”

Hope he recovers quickly. Don't like to see any player hit by injury whoever they play for

I don't go around hoping for Bale to fail. He's a Welshman who played some amazing football for us and went to the biggest club in the world for an absolute shitload of money.

However, even if Bale can't ever kick a football again, this £150k a week Welshie, who's made more money hobbling around in sunny Spain than many do in their lifetime, is very, very far down the list of people I feel sorry for.

This would leave me at "meh" for Bale's part.

Then you could take Real Madrid into the equation and I'll be all HEHEHEHE

What about if Ozil was injured for Arsenal for the rest of the season...?

Sorry Perez, you got Levy'd

The back problems might be connected to the 'unfortunate events' mentioned a while ago...

This.

What about if Ozil was injured for Arsenal for the rest of the season...?

1. "any player"
2. Would not make a great deal of difference to them. They are still the best all round team in the league ATM with or without Ozil. Plus some very good first teamers to come back.
3. Hope Gareth gets it sorted very soon.

I do hope Bale gets back to his best. Its not nice to hear an ex-spurs player suffering

We can trust Marca. They certainly arent a bunch of hysterical fucktards.

 

[fatpiranha]

We should put in a cheeky £20M bid in the January window just for shits and giggles .

Everyone hoping he fails at Madrid are deluded.

if he fails at Madrid, he won't be coming back to us, he'll go to United, Chelsea, City or Arsenal anyone bigger than us and be the superstar we all know he is.

best we can hope for is Bale is the superstar he is and performs like it and wins the lot with Madrid.

it would be gutting to see him back in England with another side

I think he burned his bridges when he left us under a cloud of stupidity.

Well him performing will depend on a few things. 1.) the extent of his injury problems 2.) how well he adapts to a new position as he won't be playing Ronaldo's role and 3.) if he can handle the pressure as some of the fans and the press are already on his arse.

I don't really care one way or the other but there's no guarantee he's going to go there and be a superstar. Players fail for various reasons. Look at Kaka and he was a far more established player than Bale is at this time.

 

[ExpatFan]

I disagree, Bale is famous around Europe(I cant think of any other player who did this) for having a great season in the CL and what he done not one player has done since that i can remember. I mean remember before that match Maicon was consider the best RB IN THE WORLD!!! and overnight he was a joke and turned in to Gilberto!

As for Bale he has won 2 player of the years by the age of 24 and this season in the second of half the season he was close to having a goal a game and actually had more goals and/or assists per game at the end of the season since that norwich match.

The guy was playing like Ronaldo in England as for Cavani, he is a striker and should score goals and historically Strikers have always been cheaper than AM/No.10's as they can win matches on their own. Bale did that he won matches on his own.

As for Cavani he is two years older and isnt a Brand like Bale, he wont bring in the money Bale will and that is a reason imo at the time I felt we let him go cheaper imo Bale is worth more than £86million to US though as we are missing out on alot of money by him leaving. Sponsor would love a big name attached to their product and we had the biggest name in the PL which is the strongest league in terms of commercial value, competitiveness/quality and probably audience in the world.

But I agree doesnt make sense to sign Bale but not because of Ronaldo but because their defence is dogshit

For someone whose first language is obviously not English, that's a pretty well argued post. cheers.

Absolutely agree. I was always gutted whenever Sol Campbell was out injured for the gooners.
