Tottenham Hotspur could be without influential midfielder Conor Gallagher for their upcoming Premier League encounter against Leeds United, following a fresh injury concern that has emerged at the club’s training ground.
According to reports credited to Spurs Insider, the England international suffered a calf injury scare during training on Tuesday evening, casting doubt over his availability for the crucial fixture. The incident has raised immediate concerns within the Spurs camp, particularly given Gallagher’s growing importance to the side since his January arrival.

Gallagher, known for his relentless energy and box-to-box presence, has quickly become a key figure in Tottenham’s midfield. His ability to press, recover possession, and drive forward has added much-needed dynamism to Spurs’ engine room. Losing him, even temporarily, would be a significant blow as the team continues its push to secure stability in the league.
Managerial staff are now expected to monitor his condition closely over the coming days, with a late fitness test likely to determine whether he can feature against Leeds. In the event he is ruled out, Spurs may be forced to reshuffle their midfield options, potentially handing an opportunity to fringe players or younger talents.
The timing of this injury scare could hardly be worse. Tottenham are entering a critical phase of the season, where every point matters, and squad depth will be tested. With Leeds known for their intensity and high pressing style, Spurs will need all available firepower to maintain control in midfield.
Supporters will be hoping the issue proves minor and that Gallagher can recover in time to play a part. However, with caution often exercised around calf injuries, the club may opt not to take risks that could worsen the situation.
As things stand, uncertainty surrounds one of Spurs’ most energetic performers — and his availability could play a decisive role in the outcome of Monday night’s clash.
