Tottenham have been given an update on Xavi Simons after the midfielder came off against Wolves on a stretcher
Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a major injury blow ahead of their trip to Aston Villa this weekend.
Spurs currently sit in the relegation zone, despite securing a 1-0 victory over Wolves at Molineux on Saturday.
Their position remains precarious as West Ham, who are 17th, also picked up a win against Everton.
However, Tottenham’s victory was overshadowed by concern after Xavi Simons was stretchered off following an incident in the second half.
The Dutch midfielder has since confirmed that his season is over and that he will also miss the World Cup due to the severity of a knee injury, which is an ACL rupture.
Dominic Solanke was another casualty against Wolves, coming off with an apparent issue. Manager Roberto De Zerbi later revealed that the striker had picked up a muscular problem.
While the extent of Solanke’s injury is still unclear, Tottenham will be hopeful of welcoming Destiny Udogie back for the clash against Villa.
The full-back missed the trip to Wolves, as did Pape Matar Sarr, who experienced shoulder pain in training last week.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, and Cristian Romero remain sidelined.
