Richarlison’s return to early season form crucial for Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison has been serving the sidelines with injuries of late, and the Brazilian took to Instagram to remind everyone of his form playing for the Lilywhites this season.
While his initial injury knock was not expected to be a serious one, he did play three games from the bench carrying the knock while the club officials decided to pull the plug on his involvement. The 26-year-old was not involved with the squad in the North Londoners’ last two games, i.e., against Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest.
The Tottenham boss, speaking ahead of Spurs’ game against Nottingham Forest, acknowledged that while Richy is going to miss the fixture against Nuno Espírito Santo’s side owing to “a bit of a niggle” in his knee, it is not serious.
He is expected to return to the fold when Tottenham face Arsenal in a highly anticipated North London derby next weekend.
Richarlison makes social media statement reminding Spurs fans of his impact
Richarlison was under an abundance of pressure coming into the ongoing season, although the former Everton man has finally found his feet at the N17. He has scored ten Premier League goals while assisting three in 25 appearances in the English top flight this season.
His presence has proved vital, both aerially and in buildups. Richarlison was unstoppable in a sense before his injury struggles off-the-pitch commenced, although he has done an impeccable job of carrying the goal-scoring pressure on his shoulders. Whenever available, he has been a threat and a menace to the opponent’s defence.
Richarlison took to Instagram to upload a story depicting his form off-late, reminding fans of the impact he can create when he gets back from injury.
