Richarlison return date pushed back as Tottenham prepare for West Ham

While there was hope that Richarlison could be back in training and in contention for Tottenham’s next match, new information has emerged suggesting he may have to wait a little while longer for a return to action.

Richarlison is due back in November

Injury issues have really gotten in the way of Richarlison‘s time at Tottenham. The Brazilian has been out of action since the second game of the new season with a lower leg injury, and his rehabilitation appears to be taking longer than anticipated.

There was hope that Richarlison could be back in full training this week and have a chance of being a part of the matchday squad for the West Ham game on Saturday afternoon, too (Football.London).

However, the latest from Premier Injuries suggests otherwise, with Richarlison’s potential return date pushed back to November 3rd. That would put him in line for a comeback in the Premier League game against Aston Villa.

Son and Odobert closer to return

Still, at least there is some good news in the form of optimism that both Heung-min Son and Wilson Odobert can be back for the West Ham game.

The pair have been on Tottenham’s injury list for a number of weeks now, and while Son’s situation has always been less severe, Odobert was expected to be out until the end of October.

Both players have a potential return date of October 19th on Premier Injuries, though how likely it is that they will actually feature against West Ham is yet to be seen.

Richarlison setback is a real worry

How many more times is Richarlison going to get hit by injury problems? He has missed so much of this season already, and his recovery is really not going according to plan. If he cannot turn a corner with this soon, sadly, the time will come when Spurs need to move him on and sign a new striker.
