Tottenham are set to be without Richarlison for around five to six weeks after the attacker suffered a hamstring injury at the World Cup, football.london understands. A key player in the Brazil team, the 25-year-old picked up the issue in the warm-up before his country's World Cup quarter-final clash against Croatia.
Richarlison still managed to play 84 minutes of the contest before he was eventually withdrawn in the closing stages. Following Brazil's World Cup exit, the summer signing was back at Hotspur Way on Monday to find out the extent of his hamstring injury.
Following a scan on the problem, football.london understands that he will be out for a period of around five to six weeks as a result. The news will come as a major blow to Antonio Conte as the Brazilian missed a month of football prior to the World Cup with a calf injury sustained against former club Everton.
