Xavi Simons News: Playing through pain

Simons contributed five shots (one on target), three tackles and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-0 victory against Dortmund in the Champions League while playing through pain due to a foot bruise, he shared on Instagram.

Simons was decent in Tuesday's victory against Dortmund, contributing a season high five shots and remaining a constant threat in the frontline for the Spurs despite playing through pain due to a foot bruise. The playmaker already missed some training recently due to a swollen ankle, but those minor issues aren't affecting his playing time since he has logged 90 minutes in each of his last four appearances with Tottenham.
