Tottenham Hotspur will be forgiven for feeling as though it never rains, but it pours in North London this season.
Tottenham claimed a huge three points against Wolves on Saturday, with Joao Palhinha scoring eight minutes from time to spare the blushes of the relegation-threatened team.
The win came at a cost, however. Dominic Solanke trudged off with what looked like a hamstring issue, and later in the game, Xavi Simons was stretchered off looking to be in some discomfort.
Now, an update has come to light on Simons, and it’s not ideal from a Tottenham perspective ahead of the final four matches of the season.
Fabrizio Romano makes devastating Xavi Simons claim
According to the transfer guru on social media, Simons has been ruled out for the remainder of 2026 after rupturing his ACL in the incident at Molineux at the weekend.
It’s a serious blow for Simons, who had designs on going to the World Cup with the Netherlands after helping Tottenham avoid relegation from the Premier League.
If the news on Solanke is negative too, it means Tottenham will be without two main attacking talents for the run-in, and that could be seriously detrimental to the team’s cause.

The 23-year-old has scored six goals and claimed seven assists this season from 43 appearances in all competitions, with his latest goal proving a superb strike against Brighton.
🤕Who should replace Xavi Simons in the team after his devastating injury prognosis?
Simons will now begin his rehabilitation after undergoing surgery to rectify the rupture, and Tottenham are left once again to rue another injury.
The Dutch performer will be devastated that he has to sit on the sidelines for the rest of the campaign and it remains to be seen how Tottenham can cope with the absence of Simons.
