Well, that’s a sad sight. Simons tries to run along the sideline to test his knee and crumples to the ground again. This time, the stretcher comes round to cart him away. Very sad and hopefully not as serious as it looks. Tottenham have now lost Simons and Dominic Solanke today.
Bissouma is subbed at the same time as the Dutch international, with Lucas Bergvall and Joao Palhinha coming on

CLOSE! Wolves 0-0 Tottenham, 60 mins
The good news is Xavi Simons is back on his feet. He’s going to continue treatment on the sideline and maybe will continue?
Spurs down to 10 men for now and Wolves attack. The ball into the box and Lima gets his head to it. But it’s over the bar!

INJURY! Wolves 0-0 Tottenham, 58 mins
Oh no… This is more bad news for Spurs. Xavi Simons chasing the ball with Hugo Bueno and goes down clutching his knee in immense pain. Bueno protests his innocence and he’s right, he’s not done anything. Simons has planted his leg and his knee has twisted in the turf.
He looks in agony and I fear this serious. Essentially a non-contact injury.

Porro gets his legs tangled with Mane and fouls the Portuguese youngster. A little bit of afters and it ends with Porro getting yellow carded (perhaps more for the initial foul) and Hugo Bueno likewise. He got involved after the foul.
The free-kick comes to nothing though with Mane’s initial cross being blocked by the wall and Spurs then clearing

Jose Sa looks to clear the ball but with Richarlison closing down, opts for a Cruyff turn instead! A bit unnecessary? He gets away with it though.
Tottenham come back in attack but that’s ugly from Richarlison. Snatches at his shot and shanks it well over the bar.

CHANCE! Wolves 0-0 Tottenham, 52 mins
Best chance of the match so far! Spurs final attack with purpose and the ball is fizzed out to Simons on the left.
He cuts inside Doherty, gets it on his right foot and hits it at goal but over the bar! He did well to get into the position but the finish was badly lacking

Good sliding tackle from Spence on Lima but Bissouma’s pass is then way too long and runs out for a goal-kick. Spurs lacking an injection of quality at the moment

Early pressure from Wolves in this second period. They win a corner which is put in the mixer but Porro scrambles it away and Lima’s shot from the edge of the box doesn’t trouble anybody

KICK-OFF! Wolves 0-0 Tottenham
Back underway. Can Spurs get the breakthrough they need?

HALF-TIME! Wolves 0-0 Tottenham
A limp first half comes to an end. Roberto De Zerbi has gone from surprisingly subdued to increasingly irritated on the touchline as his side have been on top but created little.
The main news is striker Dominic Solanke going off injured with what looked like a knee or hamstring injury. Bad news for Spurs and England
