Tough and go: Spurs winger Gareth Bale in training[LNB]Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has revealed that Gareth Bale lookslikely to only be fit enough for a place on the bench for Wednesday night'sclash with AC Milan.[LNB]The Welshman took part in a training session on Tuesday morning after makinghis comeback from a six-week back injury layoff as a substitute in the3-3 draw at Wolves.[LNB]That appeared to put the 21-year-old in line to start the secondleg at White Hart Lane, but Redknapp has confirmed that hisstar winger is likely to begin the last-16 clash at White Hart Lane onthe touchline after he felt stiffness in his legs following the session.[LNB]Redknapp said: 'Gareth trained this morning, he still felt a little bitstiff. His back was okay but he felt a little stiff in his legs so wewill wait until tomorrow to see how he is. It's touch and go. At the moment it would be doubtful whether he would be fit to start.'[LNB]Bale's loss is a big blow to Spurs but Redknapp will take comfort fromthe knowledge that his side beat the Rossoneri 1-0 without him threeweeks ago in the first leg of the last-16 tie at the San Siro.[LNB]Redknapp was boosted by the news that Rafael van der Vaart is fit tostart tomorrow after he missed the game at Molineux with a calf injury.[LNB] All smiles: Rafael van der Vaart warms up with team-mate Jermain Defoe and even has time to share a joke [LNB]Younes Kaboul, who has been out since December with a knee injury, also trained and could be fit for a shock return against the Rossoneri.[LNB] Ledley King and Vedran Corluka also took part but Jonathan Woodgate, who made his comeback from a long-term groin injury in the San Siro, did not train and looks to be out of tomorrow's showdown at White Hart Lane.[LNB] Berbatov always knew Spurs star Bale would be one of the world's best playersI almost quit Tottenham!
