Tottenham Hotspur’s Richarlison has struggled with injuries this season, limiting his game time to 173 minutes from seven matches.
The forward picked up an injury at the end of August and returned to action against West Ham United in October. Earlier this month, he suffered another setback in Tottenham’s win over Aston Villa.
Ange Postecoglou had stated the 27-year-old suffered a hamstring injury and Trivela now provide more on his setback.
Earlier claims from England had indicated the former Everton man will be out of action for around four weeks.
Trivela claim the Brazil international has a muscle injury on his right thigh, but there’s no damage to his tendon. They add these sorts of injuries generally take two to six weeks to recover from, but that isn’t the case with the Tottenham player.
It’s claimed the attacker’s injury appears to be ‘more serious than initially anticipated’ and he’s ‘unlikely to play’ again for Tottenham this year. Trivela claim they got this information from the north London club’s medical team.
There’s a possibility for Richarlison to recover this year, but Spurs won’t rush him back in order to avoid any further setbacks. Therefore, the South American is expected to return to the pitch in 2025.
