Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici are going to face a decision in the January transfer market regarding Tottenham's attack following an update on the injury front. Already hit by a handful of problems over the course of the season with Lucas Moura, Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison and Son Heung-min all spending time on the sidelines, Conte has to do without two of his players for the return of Premier League football.
Richarlison is one of the two set for more time in the treatment room, joining fellow countryman Lucas Moura in there as things stand. That leaves the Spurs head coach with Harry Kane, Son, Kulusevski and Bryan Gil as his attacking options going into the Premier League restart.
Tottenham confirmed on Tuesday that Richarlison was set to undergo an MRI scan on the hamstring injury he sustained at the World Cup prior to Brazil's quarter-final clash against Croatia. Asked by football.london on how long he will have to do without his summer addition, Conte said: "I spoke with the medical department, they said to me we need three or four weeks still. Three or four weeks. His injury was a serious injury."
