​Tottenham boss Mason unsure if Bale will face Aston Villa

Tottenham boss Ryan Mason is not sure whether Gareth Bale will be fit to take on Aston Villa.

Spurs are set to play in front of their fans in the penultimate league game of the season.

But caretaker boss Mason is not sure on loan star Bale can get the send off from the fans he may desire.

"I am not sure," said the Spurs interim head-coach.

"Gareth was probably the best I have seen him all season at the weekend.

"He was sharp, he was running at players, he has that confidence backof playing in repetitive games and he feels confident in his body.

"He also knows his body. He is a question mark for tomorrow. We are not sure whether or not he is going to be ready. It is down to the player, he is experienced enough.

"We'll see. Like it was with Serge [Aurier], if a player doesn't feel 100 per cent, I don't feel confident enough, we have enough players ready, enough players competing, that want to play.

"If a player doesn't feel 100 per cent and it is not right then he won't play."
