But the most heartbreaking consequence is likely on the international stage. Barring a huge surprise, the former Paris Saint-Germain player is expected to miss the 2026 World Cup with the Netherlands, a dream that has suddenly slipped away.
On his social media, the Dutchman shared his distress in an emotional message: “They say life can be cruel, and today, that’s exactly how I feel… My season ended abruptly. Honestly, I’m heartbroken. All I wanted was to fight for my team… and the World Cup. All of it is gone.” Despite the pain, Simons is trying to remain hopeful and has vowed to come back stronger, speaking of “faith, resilience, and belief” in facing this ordeal.
