Reports of another injury have frustrated Tottenham Hotspur fans, with many now raising concerns about the club’s medical department.
Tottenham Hotspur are gearing up for their Carabao Cup tie with Newcastle United on Wednesday, as they look to go further than they did last season, when they were eliminated in the semi-final.
This midweek tie continues Spurs’ relentless run of playing every three days since the end of the October international break, and they have managed just one win during that period.
Thomas Frank would be hoping his side can make it back-to-back wins at St James’ Park on Wednesday, after their recent 3-0 win over Everton at the Weekend.
The Tottenham boss had hinted at rotating his squad for the Newcastle clash, but his preparations have been disrupted once again after suffering another setback before a ball has even been kicked.
Tottenham fans left frustrated after Archie Gray injury
Archie Gray has picked up an injury and is set to miss at least four weeks of football for Tottenham, with the setback coming just before Wednesday’s tie.
Gray has featured only six times for Tottenham, with three of those being starts, but he is now unavailable for Frank, who is already without ten players through injury.

Spurs fans have been left frustrated by the latest development, with many taking to social media to voice their displeasure.
One Tottenham fan said: “Didn’t we replace the medical team? How are all these injuries still happening? He is not even a starter.”
Another added: “What do these guys do during the week? Are they boxing without headgear during training? It is crazy how this happens under every manager.”
More reactions followed, with one supporter commenting: “Something is off with our fitness department because this happens every season when we lose almost all of our main squad. It always starts when we are in the top four and then everything falls apart.”
Another wrote: “Deja vu, there is something wrong with the training, physio or medical team. This is three years in a row at the same time of the season.”
A further fan stated: “Multiple managers and play styles, yet the same injury crises.” Another concluded: “Change the whole medical department and equipment.”
Spurs are facing a familiar injury crisis under Thomas Frank
This situation is not entirely new to Tottenham, who faced a similar injury crisis under Ange Postecoglou around this time last season.
Those injuries saw Spurs’ campaign collapse as results turned from bad to worse, so, understandably, fans are beginning to feel anxious once again.
