Brazil release update on Tottenham star Richarlison's injury absence ahead of Morocco friendly

Brazil have confirmed that Richarlison will miss their friendly against Morocco this week after suffering an injury for Tottenham against Southampton on Saturday.

The 25-year-old lasted just four minutes of Spurs' 3-3 draw at St Mary's Stadium before departing the pitch in tears. There were suggestions that the Brazilian had initially gone down injured in the warm-up before the game but must have felt able to start the match.

Now the Brazilian football federation (CBF) have confirmed in a statement that Richarlison will not take part in their away friendly against Morocco on Saturday at the Ibn Batouta stadium in Tangier.
