Xavi Simons tore his anterior cruciate ligament after being forced off during Tottenham’s 1-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, ruling him out for the rest of the Premier League season and the 2026 World Cup. Tottenham sit 18th in the league, two points from safety with four games left, and Simons, WHO called himself "heartbroken", was a key creative player in their relegation fight. The loss deprives the Netherlands of an attacking midfield option and forces Tottenham to reshuffle their squad and transfer plans during a critical run-in.
