This is Spurs' second review of their medical staff and methods in just under a year
SHARE:
Under one year on from their last medical staff review Tottenham Hotspur have begun another – after two key defenders picked up injuries.
Spurs made major changes to their medical department in September, swapping their previous head of medicine and science in sport, Geoff Scott, with the former Brighton and Hove Albion employee Adam Brett.
This change came after the North London side suffered a vast number of injuries including major blows to the seasons of James Maddison, Micky van de Ven and Son Heung Min.
However, this season has started no differently, injuries to both centre halves, Richarlison and many others have plagued Tottenham’s year.
Due to this Spurs currently sit 11th in the Premier League and 9th in the Europa League having won only once in the last 7 games. In fact, they are just coming off a 4-3 defeat to London rivals Chelsea.
This has led Tottenham chiefs to begin further enquiries about their medical team.
The injuries to Cristian Romero, van de Ven and fourth choice centre back Ben Davies mean that 18 year old midfielder Archie Gray will have to deputise in the back two tonight in Scotland. The England U21 international has previously been used as a full-back in Europe this season.
With Spurs taking on Rangers tonight, it’s a big match for ex-Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou. He has said in his pre match press conference that ‘I think you know what kind of reception I’ll get’. The Australian won the treble whilst he was Celtic manager.
Archie Gray also comes from a Celtic supporting family and has said in the past that he is a fan of the club.
Tottenham kick off tonight in Glasgow at 8pm in their must win game against the Scottish side.
