Tottenham Hotspur have faced an injury crisis this season, with Randal Kolo Muani the latest of many scares during a relegation-battling campaign.
Tottenham Hotspur, currently 18th in the Premier League table with four games left to play, claimed their first domestic victory of 2026 last weekend against Wolves, but suffered key injuries to Xavi Simons and potentially Randal Kolo Muani in the process.

To dampen the mood ahead of what could be Tottenham Hotspur’s most vital win of the 2025/26 season, Randal Kolo Muani exited the pitch at Wolves at half-time.

According to Tottenham Hotspur expert Alasdair Gold, rumours of an injury to Kolo Muani are ‘wide of the mark’ and the attacker is expected to be available this weekend.
The Frenchman’s supposed injury, now confirmed to be a false alarm, would have been one of many absences at Spurs heading into their final Premier League fixtures.
Roberto De Zerbi, tasked with leading Spurs back from the brink of relegation, suffered blows with a setback in Mohammed Kudus’ recovery from injury and Cristian Romero’s potentially season-ending knee issue.
England international Dominic Solanke was also forced to leave the pitch before half-time during Tottenham’s eventual victory over Wolves, however, his return is expected to come before the season’s conclusion.
Perhaps the largest of all concerns, Xavi Simons has been ruled out of action for the World Cup 2026 and the rest of the year after suffering an ACL injury during the Wolves clash.

Tottenham Hotspur, despite being unaffected in regard to the health of Kolo Muani, will remain alert heading into what could be their final Premier League games for the foreseeable future.
Despite a crucial win on the road, Spurs’ injury woes paint a gloomy picture as they battle relegation, and it remains to be seen at what cost Premier League survival will come for the North London club.
