London's "Tottenham" coach Andre Villas-Boas admitted that the team's leader from last season Gareth Bale will miss the first English Premier League match.
This summer, the Welsh national team winger has been linked with Madrid's "Real" and it was certain that the player missed friendly matches because Daniel Levy wouldn't let him go to Spain.
The 24-year-old player is of interest not only to "Real" but also to "Man Utd", however only Florentino Perez is willing to pay a record amount for him, although this step is not allowed by the chairman of "Spurs".
"He missed the friendly matches due to injuries," - Villas-Boas stated. - Gareth was recovering from an injury for about two weeks and still feels muscle pain."
"I think miracles won't happen and he will have to miss the match against "Crystal Palace"," - added the Portuguese coach.
