Antonio Conte will once again have to cope without Richarlison as the Tottenham man faces another spell on the sidelines. Missing six games in October and early November after sustaining a calf injury against former club Everton, football.london understands that the Brazilian will now be out for around five to six weeks due to a hamstring issue.
The 25-year-old picked up the injury in the warm-up prior to Brazil's World Cup quarter-final clash against Croatia just over a week ago. Richarlison managed to play 84 minutes of the contest before he eventually made way in the closing stages.
Returning early to Hotspur Way on Monday for a scan to find out the extent of his hamstring problem, the news that he will be out for around five to six weeks has come as a major blow to Conte with domestic football set to resume on Boxing Day. So which games will Richarlison miss over the coming weeks?
