Leading journo Alasdair Gold says Tottenham star Richarlison could be back sooner than expected

Football London journo Alasdair Gold shares positive updates on Tottenham star Richarlison and his return from the injury via his YouTube channel. Gold is a revered journalist who exclusively covers Tottenham Hotspur news. He said:

“I knew he (Richarlison) was injured, but I didn’t think it was that bad because I was told that on either Thursday or Friday that he was seen doing running at Hotspur Way. The fact that he was doing some individual work showed that maybe it wasn’t the worst thing in the world. But then Postecoglou said three to four weeks.”

His verdict about the club and the players barely goes wrong and thus, the update comes off as a huge relief for Spurs fans. Richarlison suffered a knee injury during the Wolves game. He missed the training session ahead of the Palace clash as a result.

Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed the Brazilian will be out for three to four weeks. The setback came immediately after the former Everton man hit the purple patch in North London.

Much need Rich(arlison)ness

The early return of Richarlison could be a deal-maker for Ange & Co. battling for fourth place with Aston Villa. Thanks to the squad depth, Ange was able to reorganise the formation and tactics in Richarlison’s absence.

The number nine role was fulfilled by Heung-min Son who scored a goal for his side. Timo Werner, who was desperate to open his goal-scoring account, stepped up as well. Even James Maddison displayed a fine form just as he was before the ankle injury that sidelined him for months.

However, these don’t mean Tottenham can function without Richarlison. While the team proved they could work without the Brazilian forward in the final third, his form can be an additional booster for an attacking-oriented Tottenham squad.
