Ange Postecoglou has been talking about Tottenham’s injury problems and had some positive news for once about Richarlison.
The Brazilian has undergone a minor procedure and has been among the big list of Spurs players missing in recent weeks.
Richarlison has struggled for goals since signing for Tottenham for £60m. However, he was playing a key role for Postecoglou, both from the start and off the bench.
And speaking about Richarlison’s injury, Postecoglou admitted it’s good news for once.
Ange Postecoglou gives Richarlison injury update
Speaking about the Brazilian forward, ‘Big Ange’ admitted the striker could be back involved in training tomorrow.
“Richy is probably the closest out of the ones who have been missing so we are looking to get him hopefully involved in training tomorrow. We will see how he is, because he has missed a fair bit but he feels good which is important. He is the next cab off the rank in terms of the injury box,” Ange said.
Whether or not Richarlison would be considered to feature against Man City remains to be seen.
Big boost for injury hit Tottenham
At the moment, any player Tottenham can get back among the first-team is a boost. Therefore, having Richarlison back in action is a massive plus.
A return to training will feel like Spurs are getting a new player really. Of course, training is completely different to game time but Ange might feel compelled to include him if he does train well.
Spurs won’t want to risk any more injury issues with Richarlison and they’ll need to tread carefully in how they manage him.
However, this is a squad decimated by injury and if Richarlison is capable of contributing against City, then he might just get a spot in the squad.
