THE experienced Andre Gray has become even more important to Plymouth Argyle now that he is the only fit forward, head coach Wayne Rooney has admitted.
The 33-year-old has a short-term contract which he signed when he joined the Pilgrims as a free agent in early October and that runs until January 3, so while there are three important games coming up before then a decision over his future needs to be reached as well.
Gray made his 10th appearance for Argyle, and sixth as a substitute, when he replaced Ryan Hardie during the second half of the 3-3 draw with Middlesbrough at Home Park on Saturday. The Scottish striker suffered a badly gashed left knee and will definitely miss the away games against Coventry City on Boxing Day and Oxford United on Sunday, December 29.
Hardie has joined long-term absentee Muhamed Tijani (hamstring) on the casualty list, while Michael Obafemi is a third Argyle forward to have picked up an injury after he was taken off early in the game against Middlesbrough due to a groin issue and went for a scan yesterday afternoon.
