Tottenham: Conte now facing 'big concern' over £110k-a-week star at Hotspur Way

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.

Richarlison headed straight down the tunnel instead of taking his place on the bench, which was the first indication that it might be bad news.

He was then pictured on crutches in the mixed zone and seen in tears during an interview with the Brazilian media, with the forward clearly worried about his participation in Qatar.

Conte didn't state when he'll be back in action, but did confirm that Richarlison is not in any danger of missing the World Cup.

Regardless, it still a blow for Spurs, who are already without Kulusevski, while Lucas Moura is short of minutes after only recently recovering from a hamstring injury.

He told GIVEMESPORT: "It will be a concern, Richarlison was in tears after the game when he was asked about his injury by the South American media.

"He's obviously worried about the World Cup, which doesn't bode well for Spurs."

Richarlison might not have started the game at Old Trafford anyway, but
