Richarlison left Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on crutches and in tears as his World Cup dream was threatened after a loss to former club Everton.
The Spurs forward started the 2-0 win but was sent off minutes after the moment with what looked like a calf problem.
And after the match, Richarlison on crutches and in an emotional mood, obviously crying, as he was interviewed via ESPN Brazil about his chances of betting on next month’s tournament.
He told them: “It’s a bit complicated to say because it’s close to achieving my dream [the World Cup]. I already suffered an injury similar to this, but I hope I can heal as soon as possible. “
“The last time I was at Everton, I was out of action for about two months.
“I know it’s hard to communicate right now, but let’s see, I’ll recover. I had a CT scan on Monday, but even walking hurts. I have to stay positive if I need to move to Qatar. “
“Everything is so close, there is about a month left and we are preparing, running each and every day so that nothing bad happens. Unfortunately, today I had this calf injury, but now it’s just a matter of waiting, doing the remedy each and every day so I can recover as soon as possible.
Brazil is due to begin its organisation-level crusade on Nov. 24 against Serbia and, according to Antonio Conte, the striker will miss his next game as his injury is expected to be assessed on Monday.
The North London team will face a busy schedule over the next month with 8 games to play over the next 4 weeks.
With Dejan Kulusevski also recently sidelined with injury, that means Spurs can be soft on third-attack roles at a very important stage of the season, whether in the Premier League or Champions League.
Asked about the injury, Conte said: “Yes, because he went out against Manchester United.
“He felt something in his calf and may not be available for this game. I think he wants some time to recover. “
“It’s a shame because we are talking about a player who brings us a lot of quality and at the same time he is also and improves our intensity. “
