Xavi Simons injury update from the Netherlands is not what De Zerbi wants

Xavi Simons is recovering from his anterior cruciate ligament injury at pace amid suggestions in the Netherlands that he will not be back until February. The 23-year-old was just starting to find his feet under Roberto De Zerbi when he suffered the knee injury 63 minutes into the Premier League match at Wolves on April 25. The subsequent surgery and long rehabilitation period ruled him out of Spurs' escape from relegation and the new season following their summer transfer overhaul with 10 new players.
