Why Did Frank Xavi Simons Not Include in the Starting Lineup

Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank explained why Xavi Simons was not included in the starting lineup for the derby against Arsenal. The Dutch midfielder came on as a substitute at the beginning of the second half when the Spurs were trailing 0-2.

In the second half, the Gunners managed to score two more goals, while Frank's team could only respond with a single goal by Richarlison. "It was a tactical decision.

Simons is improving step by step, but I preferred to field Odobert, who has shown good form in recent weeks," the Danish coach told reporters after the match. Xavi Simons had joined Tottenham from RB Leipzig earlier this season.
