Spurs head coach Antonio Conte immediately ruled the striker out of Wednesday’s trip to Manchester United and he will now undergo scans to determine the extent of the injury with the World Cup finals in Qatar just over a month away.
Speaking to ESPN Brasil after the match, Richarlison said: “It’s kind of hard to say because it’s close to the realization of my dream [the World Cup]. I’ve already suffered a similar injury to this but I hope it can heal as soon as possible.
“The last time when I was at Everton, I was out of action for about two months.
