Tottenham star not in training with national team on Thursday – Being careful with him

Tottenham Hotspur star Richarlison did not train with Brazil’s squad today.

The information comes from TNT Sports journalist Fred Caldeira, who claims the forward was left out of the session because of load management.

For now, there’s no information on whether Richarlison came from Tottenham with an injury, and it’s still not known whether the situation would harm his chances to play against England at the weekend.

Premier League players who joined Brazil’s squad on Monday had already been spared from the first training session, but they’ve all been training normally since then, meaning there might be something wrong with the Spurs star.

Richarlison had been recovering from a knee injury, and only played for 10 minutes in Tottenham’s 3-0 loss to Fulham at the weekend.

That may be one of the reasons why the national team is now being careful with him.

The player sounded excited to play against England, though, so we’ll see if they’ll make an effort to make that happen.

Playing for Tottenham this season, Richarlison has 11 goals and three assists in 26 appearances.
