Tottenham star hints he is close to a return from injury – Ange Postecoglou needs him

Richarlison teases Tottenham Hotspur fans with a tantalising hint at his return to action, sparking renewed optimism amid an injury-plagued season for the North London club.

Injuries continue to test Tottenham Hotspur’s resilience

The 2024/25 campaign has been one of mixed emotions for Tottenham Hotspur supporters, as Ange Postecoglou’s side have faced a slew of injury setbacks while attempting to establish themselves as genuine top-four contenders in the Premier League.

From the enforced absences of key players such as Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, and Micky van de Ven, to the sidelining of promising young talents including Mikey Moore and Wilson Odobert, the North London club’s depth has been thoroughly tested.

Despite all of these, there have been glimmers of hope in recent days, with Postecoglou offering positive updates on the recovery of several players, including Mikey Moore, Ben Davies, and the centre-back duo of Romero and van de Ven.

However, the encouraging news did not end there, as Brazilian forward Richarlison, added to the optimism with a subtle yet significant social media post.

Richarlison hints at an imminent return to action

On Wednesday, December 18, Tottenham fans received a welcome surprise when Richarlison took to Instagram to share an image of himself back on the training pitch.

The post, captioned simply with the words “Almost there,” was enough to send supporters into a frenzy of speculation about when they might see the dynamic forward in action once again.

Although the exact timeline of his comeback remains unclear, the forward’s post suggests that his recovery could be ahead of schedule, which is particularly uplifting given that early reports had suggested he might not feature again until 2025.

The timing of his return could prove pivotal, offering Ange Postecoglou greater flexibility in his attacking setup and easing the pressure on other forwards such as Heung-min Son and Dejan Kulusevski.

Renewed optimism as Spurs look to end injury woes

As Spurs continue their campaign, the potential return of players like Richarlison could play a significant role in shaping their fortunes.

While injuries have undoubtedly tested the squad’s depth, the gradual reintegration of sidelined stars provides a sense of anticipation and excitement for what lies ahead.

The return of injured players also offers a glimmer of hope that the worst of the club’s injury crisis might finally be behind them.
