Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison will have to undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his hamstring injury.
He suffered from the problem during Brazil’s World Cup quarterfinal loss to Croatia. The striker played most of the match, despite being injured throughout the tie.
Two more Spurs stars had health problems during the tournament; Rodrigo Bentancur of Uruguay and Ben Davies of Wales, although both players have since returned to training and may be in contention to play again in the new year.

Richarlison could have provided goals for Spurs
Richarlison scored one of the best goals of the World Cup when he produced an outstanding bicycle kick against Serbia. He scored three goals in total in Qatar and Antonio Conte would have hoped the 25-year-old could continue his fine form when club action resumes, but he will have to wait a bit longer.
The responsibility for Tottenham’s goals once again falls almost entirely on Harry Kane, who also suffered a heartbreak in Doha when England were knocked out of the competition following a 2-1 loss to France in the quarter-final.
