Conte Rules Richarlison Out Of Man Utd Clash Amid World Cup Fears

Conte Rules Richarlison Out Of Man Utd Clash Amid World Cup Fears

Tottenham Hotspurs manager Antonio Conte has ruled Richarlison out of his side's next Premier League game against Manchester United on Wednesday.

Richarlison suffered a calf injury against former club Everton in the Premier League on Saturday and was substituted after 52 minutes.

Tottenham went on to win 2-0, with Harry Kane converting a penalty and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg adding a second.

The Brazilian has scored two goals and provided two assists in 13 appearances for Tottenham since joining for £60m from Everton in the summer.

"For sure he's out. He felt something in his calf and he won't be available," said Spurs manager Antonio Conte.

"I think he needs a bit of time to recover. It's a pity because we are talking about a player who gives us a lot of quality but is also strong and improves our intensity.

"He will have an MRI to understand it tomorrow, we hope it is not serious."

With just over a month away before the FIFA World Cup gets underway in Qatar, Richarlison looked downhearted after being forced off as he awaits the results of a scan.

"It's kind of hard to say because it's so close to realising my dream [playing at the World Cup]," he told ESPN Brasil. "I've already suffered an injury similar to this, I hope it can heal as soon as possible, or less. I was stopped about two months at Everton.

"I know it's hard to talk right now, but let's see, I'll recover. Monday I have tests to do, but even walking hurts. Let's wait.

"It's all so close, it's about a month to go, and we've been getting ready, working every day so that nothing serious can happen. Unfortunately, today I had this calf injury, but now it's just a matter of waiting, doing the treatment every day so that I can recover as soon as possible.”
