Latest Tottenham training pictures as Gareth Bale and Carlos Vinicius join Hotspur Way sessions

Tottenham welcomed new signing Carlos Vinicius to training for the first time on Wednesday as their players reported for international duty.

The Brazilian striker, who arrived last week on a season-long loan from Benfica, was pictured getting a feel for his new surroundings as he joined up with the first team.

The 25-year-old had only featured twice for the Portuguese side this season before his move to Spurs, so it could take a few weeks to build his fitness before his debut.

But Vinicius looked in a positive mood as he linked up with his new colleagues and worked under his new boss Jose Mourinho at Hotspur Way.

Gareth Bale joined the group for the first time in what will prove to be a huge boost for Mourinho when the Premier League resumes after the international break.

The Welshman returned to individual training a week ago after recovering from the hamstring problem that has delayed his debut.

But the 31-year-old appears to be edging closer to returning to fitness after coming through the session unscathed.

Bale hasn't joined up with the Wales national team to allow the forward to recuperate from his latest injury.
