Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas doesn't expect Gareth Bale to be part of their squad for Sunday's clash with Swansea City.
Bale is expected to be unveiled by Real Madrid this weekend after the Spanish giants met Tottenham's valuation of the player.
The Wales international has been out of action due to injury since the start of the campaign, and Villas-Boas insists there is no need for Bale to be at the match.
"We have no rules for or obligation for players not selected to be on the bench or in the stadium so I don't expect Gareth to be seen at the club," Villas-Boas said.
