Richarlison has revealed he is likely to discover the results of his scan on Monday after picking up an injury and leaving Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on crutches following Tottenham's 2-0 win over Everton. Starting the match in attack alongside Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, the Brazilian went to ground five minutes after the restart and had to be substituted.
Clutching his left calf after going down, Richarlison was visibly emotional and in tears when departing the stadium late on Saturday evening. Not only will he be a potential absence for Tottenham if he is to spend a period on the sidelines, the summer signing may also be a worry for Brazil depending on the severity of the problem as the World Cup gets underway in Qatar next month.
"It's kind of hard to say because it's so close to realising my dream [playing at the World Cup]," he told ESPN Brasil. "I've already suffered an injury similar to this, I hope it can heal as soon as possible, or less. I was stopped about two months at Everton.
