Archie Gray is facing up to eight weeks on the sidelines in more bad news for Tottenham on the injury front. 

Gray started for Tottenham in their goalless draw to Monaco in the Champions League last week. 

The rising star performed so well that the night ended with shouts for shouts for Gray to start over Djed Spence under Thomas Frank. 

While competition is rife in North London, given that Destiny Udogie is still sidelined for Spurs with injury, it was believed that there would be ample opportunities for Gray to start as Spurs’ left-back. 

However, due to the emerging news, it seems that he himself will be spending a period of time on the sidelines.

Archie Gray will miss at least 13 games for Tottenham 

Gray is facing eight weeks out injured, according to The Sun's Jake Sanders via X on 29 October. 

As a result, the versatile midfielder could miss at least 13 games for the North London club, including highly anticipated clashes against rivals Arsenal and Liverpool. 

He will also be sidelined for the trip to face PSG in the Champions League, where Tottenham will be desperate for a win after the defeat to the Parisians on penalties in the Super Cup back in August. 

His earliest return game would be when Spurs face Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on 30 December. 

With Gray growing in confidence and minutes, his fate will surely come as a huge blow to both him and Frank. 

Tottenham now have 15 fit senior outfield players 

Ange Postecoglou’s time at Tottenham has almost been vindicated with the number of injuries the Lilywhites are facing. 

  • Tottenham had 41 different injuries during the 2024/25 season
  • Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero spent a combined 59 days out 

Indeed, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are still recovering from long-term injuries while Radu Dragusin continues to work on his fitness after suffering an ACL injury last season.

This does not even scratch the surface with summer signing Kota Takai and Cristian Romero both out. 

Meanwhile, Yves Bissouma recently underwent surgery after sustaining an ankle injury over the international break. 

As a result, Spurs now have 15 senior outfield players who are fit and ready for selection. 

But with most of Tottenham’s starters still available and Kevin Danso an excellent back-up for Romero, Frank may just have enough firepower to see him through this difficult period.
