Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed that Richarlison will be out for several weeks with a knee injury.
The Spurs manager says Richarlison will be out for three to four weeks and admits that his player is “disappointed” about this latest problem.
Richarlison has been in tremendous form at Tottenham after recovering from surgery to correct a long-standing problem with his groin.
The Brazilian international has scored 10 goals in 22 Premier League appearances, nine of them in his last ten games.
However, Richarlison was injured in Tottenham’s last match against Wolverhampton Wanderers (2-1).
Speaking to BBC Sport ahead of Spurs’ meeting with Crystal Palace on Friday, Postecoglou confirmed that his player is yet to return.
The Tottenham boss also gave an update on other Spurs players ahead of Saturday’s Premier League game at 3pm on N17.
“Destiny (Udogie) has trained and Pedro will probably be out for another week,” Postecoglou said.
“Richarlison is out for three to four weeks. He injured his knee in the last game and Sess is also out, so we are still a few players down.
“Richy is disappointed because he was a key contributor, but that’s the way our season has gone.
“Sess is tough. He worked hard to come back and it’s always harder when it happens as a series of events.”
It’s a shame to hear that Richarlison will be on the sidelines for quite a while, especially as he has been in such outstanding form.
Tottenham have three games before the international break, so let’s hope the £50 million player will be fully fit when Spurs host Luton Town on 30 March.
