It was revealed that Spurs are considering fining Bale for not turning up to training, but Villas-Boas insists that the rest of team has been training well.

"There has been no disruption. We've been working well, the team is training very, very well," he is quoted as saying in the Daily Star.

"We've played three games, fortunately with three wins, three good wins. At the moment, there isn't any disruption."

Bale is expected to complete his move to Madrid in the next few days.
