Injury Knee
Est. Return 2/1/2027
Continues rehab at training ground
Simons is continuing his ACL rehabilitation program at Tottenham's Enfield training ground, 10 weeks removed from surgery, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Simons underwent surgery on May 5 for the torn ACL suffered in his right knee during the win at Wolves in April, an injury that ended his first season with the club and cost him the 2026 World Cup with the Netherlands. He finished the 2025/26 campaign with five goals and six assists across 39 appearances in all competitions. His continued progress through rehab is a positive sign as he works toward a return, though he remains likely to miss a chunk of the new season as his recovery continues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Man United showing interest?
Manchester United could consider making a summer move for Simons, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.
ANALYSIS
Simons suffered an ACL injury and will not only miss the rest of the season and the 2026 World Cup, but he's not expected to play until the second half of the 2026/27 season. Thus, the timing of a potential Tottenham departure looks a bit off, although Simons would definitely leave the club if the Spurs get relegated. If Simons is open to leaving Spurs in the summer for whatever reason might be, expect Manchester United to make a move for the playmaker.
