The social media clear-out came in the aftermath of a chaotic afternoon at Molineux on Saturday, where an important victory was overshadowed by a potentially season-ending injury to Xavi Simons.
Simons clashes with fans after injury scare
The 23-year-old’s day took a dramatic turn in the 63rd minute when he was forced off with what appeared to be a serious knee injury.
As he was stretchered off the pitch, footage captured a tense and explicit exchange between Simons and sections of the home crowd. Taunts from Wolves supporters were met with a visibly emotional and defiant reaction from the Dutch playmaker, who was clearly distressed in the moment.
Instagram purge raises eyebrows
By Sunday, fans noticed that Simons had removed all Tottenham-related posts from his Instagram account. The situation escalated further as he went on to delete all remaining photos, leaving his profile completely blank.
Such actions are often interpreted as signs of frustration or uncertainty, prompting widespread speculation among supporters about his future.
Although Simons did share a message acknowledging the team’s victory earlier in the day, the sudden disappearance of his Spurs-related content has only fueled further questions.
It remains unclear whether the move is linked to his injury, the abuse he received at Molineux, or deeper concerns about his long-term position at the club.
Injury blow comes at worst possible time
The situation presents a major concern for Roberto De Zerbi and his side. Tottenham currently sit 18th in the Premier League, fighting to avoid relegation for the first time since 1977.
Simons has been one of the few standout performers in an otherwise difficult campaign, and his absence for the remaining fixtures against Aston Villa, Leeds, Chelsea, and Everton could prove devastating.
With the club ожидаing scan results early in the week, supporters will be hoping his social media actions are simply a temporary reaction rather than a signal of something more permanent.
