- Simons suffered the injury during Saturday’s 1-0 win at Wolves after a tussle near the touchline with Hugo Bueno, and he was stretchered off around the hour mark.
- The Netherlands international wrote on Instagram that his season is over and he will miss the World Cup, calling himself heartbroken after earning 34 caps for his country.
- Spurs remain 18th in the Premier League and two points from safety with four matches left, so losing their main creative outlet further strains Roberto De Zerbi’s injury-hit squad.
