Officially: Simmons Injured with Cruciate Ligament Tear and Absent from World Cup
Many press reports have confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur's international Dutch midfielder Xavi Simons is suffering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and will be absent from the field for a long period.
The player sustained an injury during the 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton in the 34th round of the English Premier League last Saturday, which resulted in him being carried off on a stretcher.
The player said, "They say life can be harsh, and it certainly feels that way today. My season ended abruptly, and I'm just trying to come to terms with it. Honestly, my heart is broken. None of it makes sense."
He added: "All I wanted to do was fight for my team, and now the ability to do that has been taken away from me... with the World Cup. Representing my country this summer... it's just over. It will take time to find peace with this, but I will continue to be the best teammate I can be. I have no doubt that together we will win this battle."
"I will walk this path now, guided by faith, strength, resilience, and faith, counting the days until I return to the field."
The player will miss the World Cup this summer, which is a significant blow for him and his national team.
