Tottenham Hotspur’s forward, Richarlison, has sustained a calf injury during the final moments of a training session, as confirmed by the team’s manager, Ange Postecoglou. The incident occurred yesterday, and the player has since undergone a medical scan to assess the severity of the injury. Postecoglou stated, “Richarlison has picked up, in the last action of training yesterday, a calf injury” and added that the results of the scan are pending.
As a result of this injury, Richarlison will not be available for today’s match. The manager expressed his concern, noting, “He’s gone for a scan so we’ll wait and see what the outcome is, but not available for today”.
This injury comes at a challenging time for Tottenham, as Postecoglou has been vocal about the need for improvements within the team. Over the past month, he has highlighted issues regarding the team’s performance and has confirmed changes in the squad’s lineup. His recent praises for Son Heung-min as a Premier League great and confirmation of the player’s future at Spurs contrast with the current unsettling news of Richarlison’s injury, adding to the complexities of managing the team’s dynamics and performance expectations.
