Richarlison Faces Long-Term Absence After Injury

Tottenham's Richarlison will be sidelined for a significant period due to a hamstring injury sustained during a match against Aston Villa. The Brazilian forward, who had recently returned from a two-month absence, was injured after assisting a goal in Spurs' 4-1 victory. Manager Ange Postecoglou described the injury as 'long-term' and refrained from providing a specific recovery timeline, though reports suggest a minimum of four weeks out. Postecoglou expressed disappointment given Richarlison's recent progress in fitness and performance. Despite this setback, Tottenham remains hopeful about the return of vice-captain Cristian Romero, who also faced a recent injury. The team continues to cope with multiple injuries as they navigate the current season's challenges.
