The Tottenham Hotspur attacker had to leave the game against Southampton early and was unable to represent Brazil at the international level.
Richarlison's injury, which left him in tears nine days ago, is not anticipated to keep him out of much action, which has given Tottenham some much-needed encouragement.
The 25-year-£60 old's million move from Everton last summer has been challenging for him in his debut season at Tottenham. The Brazilian player missed the World Cup in October due to a calf injury, but he recovered in time for the competition in Qatar. Once there, Richarlison excelled for his nation before suffering a hamstring injury in the quarterfinal match against Croatia. It is believed that the problem occurred during the warm-up before he played the game's 84 minutes.
He was sidelined by this until mid-January, yet despite his setbacks, he struggled to settle in for Spurs, scoring just once all year with a brace to defeat Marseille in the Champions League. But, during a post-game outburst about being in and out of the Spurs lineup, Antonio Conte responded unfavorably, not impressed that the Brazilian was prioritizing himself over the team.
Richarlison then experienced a recurrence of his calf ailment, something he also dealt with at Everton, in the warm-up against Southampton this month after a strong performance against Nottingham Forest. He was cleared to play, but he only lasted a few minutes before sobbing and leaving the field. As a result of the injury, he was forced to withdraw from the Brazil squad for their friendly against Morocco.
Football.london is aware that Tottenham believes Richarlison will return to play following his most recent issue sooner rather than later.
Cristian Stellini, who was appointed interim head coach on Sunday following Conte's departure from the north London club, will benefit from that.
Emerson Royal needs surgery for a knee injury, which means the new interim manager may have to fill in for him for a significant portion of the remainder of the season.
The 24-year-old player was hurt late in a Saturday friendly match against Morocco that lasted 90 minutes. Football.london has learned that Emerson, who is now back in London, will undergo surgery to repair the meniscus in his knee, necessitating a minimum six-week rehabilitation period.
With Djed Spence on loan at Rennes and unable to be called back outside of the transfer window, as well as Matt Doherty having permanently left the club for Atletico Madrid in January, Spurs are left short at right wing-back due to his injury. Pedro Porro, who was signed in January, is the only player available and ready to play.
Also lacking in numbers on the left side of the field is Stellini.
Ben Davies will be out for four to six weeks with a hamstring injury, London announced last week. Ryan Sessegnon is still recovering from his own hamstring issue, leaving Ivan Perisic as the only available left wingback.
Hugo Lloris, the team's captain, is finally back in training after suffering a knee injury, and he participated for 45 minutes in a friendly match against Ipswich on Thursday. Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma are still sidelined due to injuries.
