Jermain Defoe admits that Gareth Bale's injury "is a massive blow" for Tottenham Hotspur, but is confident that the team can cope without the Welsh winger.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe believes that Gareth Bale's injury is "a massive blow" for them.

The Welsh winger suffered a hamstring injury during Spurs' 3-0 away win against Fulham in the Premier League and could be sidelined for two weeks.

"Obviously Gaz (Gareth Bale) is a massive blow for the team," Defoe told Absolute Radio's Rock 'n' Roll Football with Ian Wright.

"The way he plays you can't really replace a player like that, but at the same time I think someone else can come in and do a job for the team.

"Luckily enough we've got a strong squad, we've got some great players, players that can come in and players that can play out of position, players that can adapt and do a job for the team."

Defoe scored twice in Tottenham's 3-0 win at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
