Xavi Simons
22-Year-Old
Tottenham Hotspur
Premier
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.
ANALYSIS
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.

Doesn't train, still playing
Simons didn't train ahead of Tuesday's match against Dortmund but is still an option, according to manager Thomas Frank. One of them is Xavi, the guy who was out there and didn't train today because it was a bad tackle from Bowen - not that Bowen is a bad guy, wouldn't do anything intentional - a bad tackle from behind that injured his ankle, he has a swollen ankle, but because he's so strong mentally, he will play through pain tomorrow. So that's big credit, of course, to Xavi.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Spurs launch bid
Tottenham have launched a bid for Simons, according to The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Tottenham have been pursuing a new signing in the attacking third for quite some time, and they're going to make one final effort to acquire Simons. The Dutchman won't play for RB Leipzig this weekend since he's being heavily linked with a move away from the club, and it wouldn't be shocking if he ends up in a Premier League club before the market closes on Sep. 1.
