Richarlison’s hamstring injury could keep him out for up to four weeks, according to Spurs manager Antonio Conte.
Richarlison had a standout tournament in Qatar, scoring three goals, including a spectacular overhead kick against Serbia, which was named as the goal of the tournament.
Their World Cup, however, came to a disappointing end when Croatia defeated Brazil on penalties in the quarter-finals, a game from which the former Everton also pulled out with injury.
The club was waiting for an MRI on him, and after the MRI results, Conte confirmed that the player will be out for three to four weeks. He said:
“I spoke to the medical department, they told me we need three to four weeks.”
“His injury was a serious injury.
“I followed all my players in the World Cup with my fingers crossed, because you know very well that you can lose important players.
“It happened with Richarlison, who had a problem, [Rodrigo] Bentancur and Ben Davies.
