Spurs' Simons ruled out for season, to miss WC

Tottenham forward Xavi Simons, 23, suffered a serious knee injury — suspected anterior cruciate ligament damage — in the 58th minute of Saturday's 1-0 Premier League win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, leaving the pitch on a stretcher after a collision with defender Hugo Bueno. The Netherlands international has been ruled out for the remainder of the season and will miss this summer's World Cup, dealing a significant blow to Spurs' relegation survival hopes. The injury came during what was Tottenham's first Premier League victory in 16 matches and their first win of 2026.
