Boost for Tottenham as injured player takes major stride towards return

Richarlison is unavailable for Tottenham after having to undergo a pelvic surgery to get rid of an ongoing health issue. 

This came right after the Chelsea defeat which saw Spurs lose the likes of James Maddison and Micky van de Ven from long-term injuries.

The Brazilian’s surgery was a success and he is now on his road to recovery with reports claiming that he is expected back by Christmas.

And in what is a great news for Spurs, he has taken a significant step towards his return. Spurs shared the photos of the Brazilian striker continuing his rehabilitation out on the Hotspur Way grass

Even though he has been struggling since joining Tottenham, his availability is going to be crucial for Spurs when Spurs lose Son for a month in January due to the Asian Cup.

Ange is already working with a very thin squad and losing Son is going to be a big blow him. He is already without Manor Solomon and Perisic and will need as many players available as he can in order to get through that period.

Spurs are also expected to sign another attacker in January and former Celtic winger Jota is the name being strongly linked. But their main focus will be to address other areas, in particular the centre-back position.
