Tottenham Hotspur’s fight to avoid relegation has taken a major hit after Xavi Simons was ruled out for the rest of the season following a serious knee injury
The 23-year-old midfielder sustained the injury during Spurs’ 1-0 win over Wolves on Saturday after a collision with Hugo Bueno. He was initially able to continue but soon collapsed again, prompting medical staff to rush him off on a stretcher.
Early reports, including assessments cited by BBC Sport, suggest a possible anterior cruciate ligament damage, an injury that could sideline him for several months.
The setback not only ends his season prematurely but also rules him out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, dealing a double blow to both club and country.
Following the incident, Simons expressed his emotions on social media, describing the situation as deeply painful.
“My season has come to an abrupt end, and I’m just trying to process it. Honestly, I’m heartbroken. None of it makes sense.
“All I’ve wanted to do is fight for my team, and now the ability to do that has been snatched away from me — along with the World Cup,” he said.
