Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is angry over claims they haven't managed Gareth Bale's fitness properly.
Redknapp insists Bale was fully fit when he left the club, although Wales boss Gary Speed is adamant the 21-year-old reported lame, complaining of tight hamstrings.
The Spurs manager told the Daily Mail: "I wouldn't have let him go if he had an injury.
"Gareth played for 90 minutes against West Ham on Saturday and they tell me the figures from that game show he covered more ground than he's ever done before.
"There was no sign of a hamstring injury. He's not come in after the game and said his hamstrings were tight.
"When he left here on Saturday, off he went and he certainly wasn't injured.
"He hasn't had a hamstring injury. He had a back, then he had a tight thigh and we've been very careful with him.
"Now he's got a hamstring. He must've done it with Wales. I'm not blaming anyone. It's no-one's fault.
"The first I heard of it was at 10 o'clock on Wednesday night when our physio called me. I feared the worst but he's seen our physio and it's only tightness.
"There's no tear but if he plays and it pings, he's had it"
