Tottenham star Richarlison crying after coming off against Everton “doesn’t bode well” for Antonio Conte, according to journalist Paul Brown. The £110,000 per-week star suffered a calf injury in Spurs’ 2-0 win over his former side on Saturday and is now facing a spell on the sidelines, raising concerns over whether he’ll be fit for the World Cup.
Richarlison went into the game against his beloved Toffees hoping to finally get off the mark in the Premier League for Tottenham having failed to score in his first eight league games for his new club.
With Dejan Kulusevski still injured, the Brazil international was given the nod for the eighth time in nine matches in all competitions.
But Richarlison's evening ended sourly after he hobbled off through injury early in the second half and was replaced by Yves Bissouma.
