Gareth Bale

[Derry-Yid]

Has pulled his hamstring while training with Wales...they are saying he came to them with the injury - so they are blaming us for it!!

Dont know how bad it is atm, but with the Real Madrid game less than two weeks away - it doesn't look good.

[Metalanimal]

Totally gutted, he has already been out for 6 weeks!

Its bad news for us and teh lad he has had a great season bar the injuries.

Here is to a full recovery and to be honest I would rather we get him fully fit and not rush it!

[Biggs]

they said on Sky he should be back for the Madrid game.

i don't think they know how serious it is yet.

if it is an actual pull or not

[craigavonyid]

hopefully he will be back in time ,we will need him in Madrid

[millers-tach]

Could be a blessing he misses the International game, how many times do we seem to lose a player for a long period due to them?

[Holtspur]

Totally agree Miller. Gives him time to recover. Looks like he should be ok for Wigan too. Boy, I hope we win that one!

[millers-tach]

If we dont win that one then i think we can turn the lights off, unless City also f*ck up of course.

[Metalanimal]

Lose at Wigna and we may as well start planning how we will get into the CL the following season and keep our prized players during the transfer window and attract the ones we want.

Actually..... failing to get fourth dont bear thinking about, f**kity f**k f**k f**k no way...... Wigan is a must win nothing less!

Time to pull it together Arry and the lads.

[Holtspur]

Totally with you Millers amd Metal.  Lets hope its a goal spree - they got their own back at the Lane earlier this season for the 9-1 hammering before - maybe we can do it again on the DW! We can dream cant we?

Official site says that it was a grade 1 thigh strain, Micah Richards has a grade 2 and its out for 4 weeks :S I really hoope he's fit.
