He returned to Hotspur Way earlier this month for scans, and it was later reported that Richarlison would be out for five to six weeks (Football London).Conte appears to have confirmed that timeline in his press conference this afternoon, when he predicted the Brazilian would be unavailable for the next month or so. According to Dean Jones (GiveMeSport), Spurs may prioritize a move for a new attacker in the January transfer window due to Richarlison's injury.
Spurs Web Opinion:
Someone like Ruslan Malinovskyi would be an ideal January signing for Spurs. He wouldn't be too expensive, he can play multiple positions across the front line, and he would allow Conte to rotate in Richarlison's absence. It also appears that Spurs could complete a deal early in January.
