//Despite playing for Wales twice this month, Bale is unlikely to be have sufficient match fitness to walk straight into the Spurs side - although unlike most arrivals in the UK from Spain he will likely not have to quarantine.

This is as Bale has arrived from an elite sporting environment where coronavirus protocols will have been adhered to, and he will have also had to return a negative test result within five days prior to entering the UK.//

Pro footballers are tested quite often - probably more often than front line NHS staff.
