Tottenham Receive Major Xavi Simons Injury Boost as Return Date Nears
Tottenham Hotspur have received encouraging news regarding Xavi Simons, with the Dutch attacking midfielder reportedly aiming to return to action in late December.
Spurs have been without the 23-year-old since April, but recent developments have raised hopes that he could be back earlier than initially anticipated.
Simons suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury to his right knee during Tottenham’s Premier League encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers approximately six months ago. The injury ended his season prematurely and also ruled him out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Despite the lengthy recovery process, the Netherlands international has continued working hard to regain his fitness, with a potential return before the end of the year now being discussed.
The former RB Leipzig star joined Tottenham in August 2025 and registered five goals and six assists in 41 appearances across all competitions.
Head coach Roberto De Zerbi will be keen to welcome the creative midfielder back into his squad as Spurs look to maintain their momentum in the Premier League.
Simons has already resumed individual training on the grass and recently shared footage of his rehabilitation, giving supporters a positive indication of his recovery progress.
Tottenham have also received a boost from Dejan Kulusevski, who returned to action this month after spending more than 500 days on the sidelines.
The North London side have subsequently won their last two Premier League matches, achieving consecutive league victories for the first time since August 2025.
De Zerbi’s team are scheduled to host Crystal Palace on Saturday, with another victory offering an opportunity to strengthen their recent progress.
Although Simons’ comeback date has not been officially confirmed, his potential return in the coming weeks would provide Tottenham with another important attacking option.
Spurs supporters will be hoping the midfielder continues to recover well and can return to competitive football as soon as possible.
