Gareth Bale won't be part of Tottenham's squad for their season opener against Crystal Palace.
The Daily Star says the 24-year-old wing wonder - who wants to move to Real Madrid - will miss the start of the campaign with a foot injury.
He trained with Wales this week but watched their 0-0 draw with Republic of Ireland from the stands.
Boss Andre Villas-Boas this morning revealed he doesn't feel Bale is fit enough to be in the squad.
