The injury woes continue for Thomas Frank as yet another Tottenham player has now been ruled out of action for the foreseeable future.
Thomas Frank has reiterated that plans are in place to avoid another injury crisis at Tottenham this season, but it is fair to say that whatever the Dane’s strategy is, it has not worked out so far.
Spurs have already had double-digit absentees at times at the early stage of the season, with many of those on the treatment table being long-term absentees.
The situation has just got worse, with another Tottenham midfielder going down with an injury.
Tottenham midfielder will miss eight weeks of action
Ahead of Tottenham’s Carabao Cup clash against Newcastle United this evening, news has now emerged that Archie Gray has picked up an injury.
This information comes from The Sun’s Jake Saunders, who does not provide information on what type of injury Gray has suffered.
However, he reveals that the 19-year-old is expected to miss eight weeks of action, which severely depletes Thomas Frank’s options.
Gray joins Cristian Romero, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke, Destiny Udogie, Ben Davies, Radu Dragusin, Kota Takai and Yves Bissouma on the injury table.
Spurs are running out of midfielders
Tottenham’s schedule gets extremely busy over the next few months, with fixtures coming thick and fast for the Lilywhites.
Yves Bissouma is already out with a long-term injury, and with Gray now joining him on the treatment table, it leaves Frank extremely short of options in the middle of the park.
It means that Tottenham now have just Rodrigo Bentancur, Joao Palhinha and Pape Sarr as their three central midfield options, and if one of them were to go down with an injury, the Lilywhites may be in serious trouble.
