Tottenham have been buoyed by some rare positive injury news this season with Richarlison not expected to miss much action with the injury that left him in tears nine days ago.
The 25-year-old has had a difficult first season at Tottenham following his £60m move from Everton last summer. The Brazilian suffered a calf injury in October that had him fearing his World Cup hopes were dashed, only for him to return in time for the tournament in Qatar. Once there Richarlison starred for his country but then picked up a hamstring injury in the quarter-final against Croatia, an issue reportedly suffered in the warm-up before he played 84 minutes in the game.
That kept him out until mid-January but around those injury problems he struggled to find his feet for Spurs, scoring in only one game all season with a brace to win the Champions League match against Marseille. Next came a post-match outburst about being in and out of the Spurs line-up, which brought an unhappy response from Antonio Conte, who was not impressed that the Brazilian was thinking about himself rather than the team.
