“Injury Blow: The Crucial Tottenham Matches Richarlison Will Be Sidelined For”
“Tottenham’s Setback: Key Matches Richarlison Will Miss Following Latest Injury Blow”
Richarlison has sustained another injury, a significant setback for Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou. Here’s a look at the games the striker is expected to miss.
What happened to Richarlison?
Richarlison entered the match against Aston Villa on Sunday at the 56-minute mark, delivering an assist to Dominic Solanke, who extended the score to 3-1. However, Richarlison pulled his hamstring in the process and had to leave the game after only 27 minutes.
According to the social media account Physio Scout, Richarlison likely suffered a full hamstring strain, which could mean an absence of two to four weeks (for a grade one strain) or four to six weeks (for a grade two strain). Spurs insider Paul O’Keefe later confirmed Richarlison will miss at least four weeks due to the injury.
Which games will Richarlison miss?
Fortunately, the international break will cover some of this time, but in the best-case scenario, Richarlison is estimated to return by December 1, missing the following five matches:
Galatasaray (Europa League) – Thursday, November 7
Ipswich Town (Premier League) – Sunday, November 11
Manchester City (Premier League) – Saturday, November 23
AS Roma (Europa League) – Thursday, November 28
Fulham (Premier League) – Sunday, December 1
If Richarlison’s recovery extends to the full six weeks, he may be out until December 15, potentially missing another four games:
Bournemouth (Premier League) – Thursday, December 5
Chelsea (Premier League) – Sunday, December 8
Rangers (Europa League) – Thursday, December 12
Southampton (Premier League) – Sunday, December 15
