Netherlands attacking midfielder Xavi Simons has said he is "heartbroken" after being ruled out for the rest of the season for relegation-battling Tottenham and this summer's World Cup because of a knee injury.
Simons was carried off on a stretcher in the second half of Tottenham's 1-0 win at Wolves on Saturday with reports, external he may have suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
The 23-year-old fell to the ground following a collision with Wolves defender Hugo Bueno and, after initially getting to his feet, went down again.
"They say life can be cruel and today it feels that way," Simons wrote in a social media post.
"My season has come to an abrupt end and I'm just trying to process it. Honestly, I'm heartbroken. None of it makes sense."
