Gareth Bale was a notable absence at Everton-Tottenham in the round of 16 of the FA Cup. At the end of the game, which the Londoners lost 4-5 after extra time, José Mourinho explained why the Welsh international was not an option at Goodison Park.
“We played West Bromwich on Sunday and he didn’t play. On Monday I am a bit surprised because he wanted to take an exam because he is not comfortable, “he began by telling the Portuguese coach at a press conference.
“On Monday he did not train and on Tuesday he worked with the team, but they informed me that he wanted to work with the medical team for a few days to strengthen the area where he does not feel comfortable,” Mourinho continued.
That is why he was not here. I don’t think it’s an obvious injury. I’d say it feels uncomfortable and that’s why you can’t train one hundred percent. But I don’t think we can talk about injury ”, he concluded.
