Injured Simons enrolls in Harvard business course: "Back to school"

Tottenham midfielder Simons, sidelined since April with an ACL tear, enrolls in Harvard business course for athletes during recovery.

Xavi Simons, the Tottenham midfielder, has been out since April after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury that also ruled him out of the Netherlands' World Cup campaign. To make productive use of his enforced absence, the 23-year-old has enrolled in a business course at Harvard designed specifically for professional athletes, aimed at developing commercial skills. The programme includes case studies and business management led by college students, following a similar path taken by Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga earlier this year.
