Antonio Conte confirms major Tottenham injury blow before Manchester United fixture

Antonio Conte has confirmed Tottenham will be without Brazil forward Richarlison for their Premier League game against Manchester United on Wednesday night. Richarlison, 25, has been ruled out with a calf problem which also requires the club's summer signing to be sent for an MRI scan.

Despite costing Tottenham around €58million, Richarlison has yet to score his first domestic goal for the club, but he has been a mainstay of their line-up alongside Son Heung-min and England captain Harry Kane. However, he will not feature against United as Conte also sweats on Sweden international Dejan Kulusevski (hamstring).

Conte provided an update on those players during his pre-match press conference. Richarlison will certainly not be fit enough for the Old Trafford showdown, while Kulusevski remains a doubt.
