Xavi Simons

Its rife in football now. Seen experts on podcasts say the increase in acceleration and deceleration in the game is a massive issue. Also where fatigue would drive limits on players those limits have gone through the roof with supplements and masking agents.
Massive issue in the women’s game and has been for some time
 
A rupture worse than a tear as well. He won’t be back until towards the end of next season.
A ruptured ACL is better (oddly), you know where you are.
A partial tear (a full tear is a rupture) will open up options of managing it and specific muscle exercises to support and stabilise the knee. I think from the Maddison videos it sounded like he had this problem (a partial tear)the season before....and then in this pre season it fully ruptured on him.

Edit: I'm saying this in the context of a professional sportsmen

The main question for me is, are Spurs an outlier in terms of injuries compared to our peers? And if we are, why? It certainly feels that way over the last 2 seasons.
We were in the top 6 for least injuries 2014-2024. Then Munn and Ange got rid of our medical team and hired Brighton's (who were 20th). Now we are 20th. Our team moved to Wolves (im not sure how they are doing since)

I remember we had quite a few injuries in Poch's last full season in 2019. That lead to the infamous midfield of Winks and Sissoko
