According to O Globo (19/10/22 as translated by Sport Witness), the Brazilian national set up remain concerned about Richarlison’s injury, with their World Cup campaign getting underway in one month.
Richarlison had to come off in the second half of Tottenham’s 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt last week after going down with a calf injury.
The 25-year-old was reported to be in tears in the dressing room after the game, and expressed his fears about missing the World Cup (ESPN Brazil).
However, Antonio Conte has since confirmed that the injury is not as serious as initially feared and that the forward will be fit to travel to Qatar (Football.London).
O Globo now explain that the Selecao are still concerned about the situation and Brazil’s staff are in contact with the Tottenham star.
They are said to be following Richarlison’s recovery closely and are thought to be ‘cautious’ about his presence in the World Cup.
It is asserted that even if the former Everton man’s recovery goes as planned, he will only return to the pitch very close to the time when Tite is expected to announce his squad.
O Globo add that the Brazilian set-up remain ‘optimistic’ about Richarlison and that the Spurs star will not have any problem making the squad if he is passed fit before the World Cup.
Spurs Web Opinion
I expect Tete to still take Richarlison to Qatar even if the striker’s recovery is not as swift as hoped he misses the Selecao’s first game or two of the competition. The 25-year-old has been in exceptional form for his national side recently and I do not see him being left out.
