Simmons was carried off on a stretcher just after the hour mark at Molineux, raising concerns that he had damaged his anterior cruciate ligament.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The Dutchman, who could miss out on the World Cup if the worst-case scenario were to be confirmed, allayed some fears by re-sharing a graphic of Spurs&#8217; post-match victory on his Instagram Story with the caption: &#8220;Always TTP (white heart emoji)&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Although relegation rivals West Ham also picked up three points, it was still an important win for Spurs. However, the results were somewhat overshadowed by two injury setbacks, with another player, Dominic Solanke, being forced off the pitch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Coach Roberto De Zerbi said of the injury: &#8220;For Xavi, it&#8217;s a knee problem. We&#8217;ll take a look in the next few days. Monday or Tuesday.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;For Solanke, it&#8217;s not a big problem. I don&#8217;t know how many games he will lose, but I would like to know the situation with Xavi, because a knee is always different from a muscle injury.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>De Zerbi later added of Simmons: &#8220;He was in pain. Now, I spoke to him a couple of minutes ago. He&#8217;s feeling better than he was at the beginning of the injury.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>De Zerbi is said to be hopeful that Simmons will be available for the remaining games, while James Maddison is still not guaranteed to return from his ACL injury before the end of the season, despite playing in the team&#8217;s final two games, football.london reports.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Express sports on FB!
