Dutch playmaker collapsed clutching his right knee in the 58th minute of Saturday's match against Wolverhampton, where Spurs secured a 1-0 victory, recording their first league win of 2026. After a collision with Wolves defender Hugo Bueno, the 23-year-old Simons attempted to continue but then collapsed again and subsequently left the Molineux pitch on a stretcher. In an emotional Instagram post late Sunday, Simons confirmed he would not be ready for Tottenham's final four league matches, nor for this summer's World Cup, due to a ligament injury. "They say life can be cruel, and that's exactly how I feel today. My season has come to an abrupt end, and I'm just trying to process it," wrote the former PSG player. "Honestly, my heart is broken. None of this makes sense. All I wanted was to fight for my team, and now that opportunity has been taken away from me, along with the World Cup. It will take time for me to find peace with this, but I will still be the best teammate I can be. I will walk this path guided by faith, strength, and resilience while counting the days until my return to the pitch. Be patient with me," he wrote. Simons has had a rather turbulent debut season in England. After occasional flashes under Thomas Frank, he was inexplicably sidelined under Igor Tudor. Yet, it seemed he would play a key role under De Zerbi, especially after a spectacular goal in the recent 2-2 draw against Brighton. Instead, Simons will be unable to help Spurs in their desperate attempts to close the two-point gap to 17th-placed West Ham and avoid their first league relegation in 49 years.
