Report: Injured Spurs star expected to make matchday cup squad vs Forest
Football.London have revealed that Richarlison is expected to be part of Tottenham’s matchday squad for their Carabao Cup third-round clash against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.
Richarlison picked up a calf injury during the Premier League game against his former club Everton last month. However, the Spurs star did find himself among Brazil’s 26-man squad for the World Cup, which was officially announced on Monday (ESPN).
The Seleaco’s team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar told Globo Esporte (07/11/22 as relayed by Sport Witness) this week that the 25-year-old has made significant progress and is expected to train with his Tottenham teammates this week.
Football.London have now confirmed that Richarlison has returned to full training ahead of the clash on Wednesday. The forward is said to have trained on Monday with those players who did not start in the defeat against Liverpool.
The report adds that the former Everton man will go through a full session today and should he go come through unscathed, he will be part of the Spurs squad who travel to the City Ground tomorrow.
Spurs Web Opinion
I doubt Conte will risk Richarlison on Wednesday unless the forward is 100 per cent fit, with the World Cup now just around the corner. Perhaps, he would get around 20 minutes off the bench as Kulsuevski and Moura did against Liverpool.
