Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou shares Archie Gray injury update

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has offered a reassuring update regarding the fitness of 18-year-old midfielder Archie Gray after the team's impressive 3-0 victory over Qarabag in their UEFA Europa League opener.

The match was not without its challenges, but Gray's performance has emerged as a highlight amid the concerns that arose during the fixture.

The game was initially delayed by 35 minutes due to unforeseen disruptions, and it took a dramatic turn just seven minutes in when Radu Dragusin received a red card, leaving Tottenham with ten men.

Despite the early setback, Postecoglou’s side demonstrated remarkable composure, dominating possession and controlling the pace of the match.

Throughout the game, Qarabag posed some threats, including a disallowed goal that could have altered the course of the match.

However, Spurs’ defence held firm, resulting in a clean sheet, their second of the season, which delighted the supporters. In addition to Gray’s promising display, the match also provided an opportunity for young talent Mikey Moore to make an appearance, further contributing to the team's morale-boosting evening.
