LONDON (AP) - Tottenham winger Gareth Bale has been ruled out for a 'œfew weeks'ť with a calf injury.

The Wales international sustained the problem in last week's League Cup quarterfinal win at Stoke and Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho said Tuesday he will have a spell on the sidelines.

Brazilian duo Carlos Vinicius and Lucas Moura are also expected to miss Wednesday's game against Fulham.

'œI don't expect (Bale) to be fit and also I have my doubts that Lucas and Vinicius can be fit for Fulham,'ť Mourinho said. 'œI wouldn't say it's serious but I'd say a few weeks (for Bale).'ť

The lack of attacking options will increase Mourinho's reliance on striker Harry Kane during a busy period.
