Tottenham star Richarlison is set to feature at the Qatar 2022 World Cup as the forward received a call-up to Tite's 26-man squad for the tournament. It comes as a joy and relief to the 25-year-old, who was a huge doubt for returning to action in time, having picked up an injury.
The Brazilian became a doubt after he suffered a calf injury against his former side Everton in October, limping off the pitch early in the second half. The forward was then pictured in emotional scenes, crying as he left the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as his World Cup dream hung in the balance.
"It's kind of hard to say because it's so close to realising my dream [playing at the World Cup]," he told ESPN Brazil. "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."
