Tottenham’s record for serious injuries will surely put transfer targets off N17 move

Tottenham Hotspur have lost four players to ACL injuries since January 2025, with Xavi Simons now the latest.

Even when Tottenham are able to end their 15-game Premier League losing run at Wolves, more pain and frustration has befallen the team.

Star winger Simons has now been ruled out for the rest of the season, and indeed this summer’s World Cup, after rupturing his ACL in his right knee at Molineux.

Unbelievably, the Dutchman tried to run the injury off, before falling to a heap on the ground once again with Spurs’ medical staff around him, clearly being in far too much pain and discomfort to carry on.

Tottenham’s injuries have piled up once again this season, which has undoubtedly had a huge impact on their ability to fight against the increasingly strong tide of relegation.

What does Tottenham’s recent injury record look like?

Tottenham fans have long criticised the medical team at Spurs, with numerous instances of players being told to carry on or do some exercises on the sideline, only for them to slump again minutes later having clearly been seriously hurt.

Out of the current group of players, Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus, Ben Davies, Wilson Odobert, Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Pape Sarr, Destiny Udogie, Dominic Solanke and Simons are all out injured at the moment.

On top of that, James Maddison and Rodrigo Bentancur have only just returned from long-term injuries too, as Tottenham must have to be in possession of the biggest treatment room in the Premier League.

Now of course, some of these injuries, such as Romero’s against Sunderland, have been through no fault of Tottenham’s.

However, the sheer list of Spurs players having suffered serious, career-changing injuries in recent times is incredibly alarming.

As such, it’s difficult not to feel as though something, whether it’s how they train and prepare for games, or whether it’s a quality issue in the medical team, isn’t right in N17.

Tottenham injury record likely to put transfer targets off

If you were a player, whether in your prime years or about to enter them, and your agent told you Tottenham were interested in signing you, would you be apprehensive about joining knowing Spurs’ injury record?

The answer to that for many people will surely be yes, and that immediately puts Spurs on the back foot when it comes to negotiations, and trying to convince the player on a move to N17.

Tottenham have to get to the bottom of what’s going on here one way or another, as either they have the most rotten injury luck imaginable, or something about their in-house process needs altering.

Spurs are going to have a big enough challenge convincing players to sign for them given their on-field struggles, and that’s without their ridiculously bad record for players getting seriously injured.
