Bad News”- I’m sorry, he will not returning again”- Injury expert shares pessimistic update on Tottenham ace.
Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison is facing a tough season, with injuries significantly affecting his ability to contribute to the team.
The Brazilian forward has missed 18 games so far this season due to ongoing fitness problems, with his most recent setback being a hamstring injury that has kept him sidelined since November.
Injury expert Dr. Rajpal Brar suggests that Richarlison may be dealing with a high-grade muscle tear, likely a Grade 2 or Grade 3 injury. While initial fears pointed to a more severe Grade 4 tear, the updated diagnosis offers some hope for an earlier return than initially expected.
Dr. Brar provided an optimistic recovery timeline, predicting that Richarlison could return to training around the New Year and potentially rejoin the first team by mid-January. He explained to Tottenham News:
“This appears to be a high-grade 2 or 3 muscle tear, rather than the feared Grade 4 injury based on the current timeline.
“If the mid-January return is accurate, I’d expect him to start training by the New Year. I don’t foresee him returning to first-team action until January.”
Richarlison’s injury woes have been a major setback for manager Ange Postecoglou’s plans this season. The 27-year-old has made just seven appearances across all competitions, scoring once and providing one assist in only 173 minutes of play.
These ongoing fitness concerns have raised doubts about his long-term future at Spurs. Despite rumors linking him to a move to the Saudi Pro League in the summer, no deal was reached, keeping him at Tottenham until 2027.
To bolster their attack, Spurs signed Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth earlier this summer. The striker has since become a key player in Postecoglou’s system, regularly featuring as the team’s main centre-forward.
Richarlison’s recovery will be closely monitored, as his ability to regain full fitness and form will be crucial in shaping his future at Tottenham.
