Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has revealed there has not been "one second of discussion" about extending Gareth Bale's loan for another season.
The Wales international is on a year-long deal from Real Madrid, with the option of a second, but has endured an underwhelming return to north London so far.
After arriving injured he has struggled to ever reach top condition, playing predominantly in the Europa League, and his progress in recent months has been hampered by illness and fitness issues.
It has been far from the homecoming that Spurs had imagined when he arrived back at the club and Mourinho is not looking too far in advance.
Mourinho, however, is confident the game will go ahead.
"I'm not worried," he said. "I believe they'll be nice and fresh and all ready to play against us, like is happening to many clubs – they have matches postponed before they play us.
"That's the way it is. I expect to play them and I hope we do."
Giovani Lo Celso is missing for Sunday's visit to Sheffield United with a hamstring injury, but Steven Bergwijn is back after a recent illness.
