About this episode
The panel discusses the implications of Xavi Simons' ACL injury on Tottenham's season and their Premier League survival chances.
Host Ricky Sacks is joined by George Achillea, Billie T and Ian Lubin as the panel react to the news that Xavi Simons has torn his ACL and will be out for the rest of the season with Tottenham. Simons became the fifth Tottenham player to pick up an ACL or knee injury to keep them out for 12 months since February 2025. We discuss our genuine concerns and delve deeper into the injury crisis that is surrounding Tottenham Hotspur. We also debate whether the home pitch and training pictures are factor in addition to the rehabilitation protocol the players are instructed to go through from the Medical Staff at the Club. Of course the conversation naturally turns to what this does in our battle to remain in the Premier League and whether Roberto De Zerbi can perform one of the best ever Premier League ‘Great Escapes’ given the limited numbers at his disposal and games running out to save Spurs.
