- Tottenham attacker Xavi Simons has been ruled out for the remainder of the season and the upcoming World Cup due to a serious knee injury sustained during Saturday's 1-0 victory against Wolves.
- The 23-year-old Netherlands playmaker suffered the injury in the 58th minute after a collision with Wolves defender Hugo Bueno, eventually leaving the pitch on a stretcher.
- Simons expressed his heartbreak on Instagram, stating his season had "come to an abrupt end" and that he was devastated to miss both Tottenham's crucial relegation battle and the World Cup.
- His absence is a significant blow to Tottenham's hopes of avoiding relegation, as the club is currently two points behind 17th-placed West Ham with four league matches remaining.
- This injury adds to Tottenham's woes, as manager Roberto De Zerbi has already lost captain Cristian Romero and winger Mohammed Kudus to season-ending injuries in his first month at the club.
