[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/tottenham/UDg08Ohm/"]Tottenham Hotspur[/a] are enduring one of the most difficult campaigns in their recent history, overshadowed by a troubling spate of knee injuries.[/p][p]The latest to join the list is [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/simons-xavi/noo0L9zk/"]Xavi Simons[/a], who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament rupture on 25 April as [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/game/soccer/tottenham-UDg08Ohm/wolves-j3Azpf5d/?mid=bHZgKFgA"]Spurs beat Wolves[/a], further compounding the club’s on-pitch struggles.[/p][p]This is far from an isolated incident. [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/odobert-wilson/CIvgNZLk/"]Wilson Odobert[/a] sustained the same injury on 10 February, while [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/dragusin-radu/ELzKkDJF/"]Radu Dragusin[/a] went down with an ACL rupture in late December 2025.[/p][p]They are joined by [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/maddison-james/YwP0q0m8/"]James Maddison[/a], who suffered his injury on 2 May 2025, and Cristian Romero, sidelined since 12 April with a knee problem that is expected to keep him out until June.[/p][embed guid="58d41bdd-947b-4d00-bd87-b3005d6cd6db" url="https://x.com/ESPNUK/status/2048711297311572309" social-type="twitter" /][p]Meanwhile, Dejan Kulusevski has been dealing with a serious knee injury since 11 May 2025, with his return not anticipated until May 2026.[/p][p]The situation paints a stark picture: Tottenham have suffered more knee injuries than home victories in the current Premier League season. Spurs have managed just two wins at home — the first on the opening day against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/burnley/z3dmTMMO/"]Burnley[/a] (3-0) on 16 August 2025, and the second not arriving until matchday 15, when they defeated Brentford (2-0) on 6 December. In 2026, the team are yet to record a league win on home soil.[/p][p]Beyond the knee injuries, the treatment room has remained consistently busy with other physical setbacks. Pape Matar Sarr has been dealing with a shoulder injury, Ben Davies with an ankle problem, Mohammed Kudus with a thigh issue, Destiny Udogie with a muscular injury, and Guglielmo Vicario has undergone hernia surgery.[/p]
