No clear indication has been made on exactly when we can expect him in a full Tottenham shirt, but judging by this latest Instagram post, it could only mean good news as Lilywhites anxiously await the return of their hero.

This positive post couldn't have come at a better time, especially considering Spurs face the possibility of absences for both Sergio Reguilon and Giovani Lo Celso (Evening Standard).

Joining Spurs from Real Madrid alongside the Wales international, Reguilon picked up a knock whilst on tour with Spain - hobbling off the pitch during their 0-0 draw with Portugal on Wednesday.

As well as the 23-year-old, Lo Celso picked up a thigh injury training with Argentina - potentially leaving many supporters to curse their luck.

Now, with Bale nearing a return, it has at least gifted supporters an optimistic update after a summer of heavy spending and headline-grabbing deals.

When we'll see the 'exciting' club hero - as praised by Glenn Hoddle -  in action remains to be seen, but it could be soon judging by this latest update.
