Richalisson started the 11th round of the Premier League 2022/23 season between Tottenham and Everton held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 1:30 am on the 16th. Richalisong formed a triangle with Kane and Son Heung-min.
However, in the fourth minute of the second half, Richalisson suffered a serious injury. Richalisson, who sat himself on the ground, signed the substitute. His left calf felt uncomfortable and touched his stretched leg. He walked for a long time without medical assistance, but Hishali Song’s gait was not normal.
Hisalisson’s injury was shocking because he was about to participate in the World Cup right away. Richalisson visited Korea as a member of the Brazilian national team in June and had training and match A. After the match, Heung-Min Son and Heung-Min Son were seen making friends in the locker room. Richalison, who was then from Everton, was confirmed for a move to Tottenham a few weeks later.
Appeared in 37 matches and scored 16 goals. It is evaluated as a hidden card that can relieve the burden of Brazil’s attack, which is biased toward Neymar, by Richalisson. Being injured in this situation, the shock that Richalisson suffered was more than I had imagined. According to local media, it is said that he will suck his eyes when he leaves work after the game. He is believed to have shed his tears in the locker room.
After the game, Richalisson told ESPN, “I suffered a similar injury while at Everton. Then he didn’t play for two months. He has about a month left until the World Cup, but he will recover quickly and get treatment. If you are going to Qatar, you have to think positively. It hurts to even walk right now, but I’m going to check it out on Monday,” he said.
After that, the test results came out. Tottenham manager Antonio Conte shared news of Richalisson’s examination with reporters. “There is no risk that Rishalisson will not be able to play in the World Cup,” Conte said. I can say for sure. The injury is not serious. I am happy,” he said.
According to Conte’s words, Richalisson can prepare for the World Cup normally. It was his heartbreaking moment, but the results of the examination did not appear to be serious. However, it has not yet been confirmed whether or not he will play for his team.
