Xavi Simons Injury: Tottenham Injury List Extends With Dutchman's Addition

English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur have a fresh injury concern in the form of Dutch attacking midfielder Xavi Simons, who was taken off in the second half of their league encounter against Wolves at Molineux Stadium. The Dutch star had just recently returned to form and scoring for the Lilywhites, but a fresh Xavi Simons injury has cast doubt on his involvement for the remainder of the season.

Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi will be ruing his luck as he had already lost Dominic Solanke to injury in the first half.

Xavi Simons Injury: What Happened?

The Dutch attacking midfielder has reportedly suffered a concerning knee injury in the Wolves clash. Simons was going for a 50-50 challenge against Hugo Bueno, but ended up getting his leg stuck between the player and the ball.

He immediately cried out in pain and was later stretchered off the field and replaced by Lucas Bergvall in the 63rd minute. Injuries to Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus and Dominic Solanke have complicated things for Roberto De Zerbi and Tottenham, who are fighting for relevancy and Premier League survival in this campaign.

Losing two players like Solanke and Xavi Simons, who have made 19 goal contributions for the club this season will be a huge worry for the Lilywhites' fans. It will be fascinating to see how the team responds ahead of the final four games of this perilous campaign.
