The midfielder was stretchered off holding his right knee during the second half of our 1-0 win at Molineux following a coming together with Hugo Bueno, with scans later confirming he had ruptured his ACL.

Just over a week on from the injury, the procedure was completed on Tuesday (5 May) and our number seven will now commence his recovery and rehabilitation process.

Later posting a carousel of images on his official Instagram channel, Xavi added the caption: "I went missin, on a mission just perfecting my craft. Intro done. Now we rise.⏰🕹️"

Set for a lengthy spell out, there was also an outpouring of support from across the Spurs family with fans and team-mates posting in the comments:

Kevin Danso: "😒❤️"

Mathys Tel: "Love mon frère ❤️"

Djed Spence: "Believe"

Richarlison: "Good recovery bro 🙏🏽🤙🏽"

Pape Matar Sarr: "🤍"

Micky Van de Ven: "🥰"

We'll be with you every step of the way during your recovery 🤍
