Richarlison has picked up an injury again, which is a major blow for Ange Postecoglou – here are all the Tottenham games the striker is likely to miss.
What happened to Richarlison?
After entering the field at the 56-minute mark against Aston Villa on Sunday, Richarlison managed to bag himself an assist, squaring the ball perfectly for Dominic Solanke to take the scoreline to 3-1 and kill the game.
However, in doing so, the Brazilian pulled his hamstring, and had to leave the field, bringing his 27-minute cameo to a close.
Social media account, Physio Scout, suggested Richarlison had suffered a full hamstring strain, which could keep him out of action for two to four weeks (if grade one), or four to six weeks (if grade two).
Spurs insider, Paul O’Keefe, confirmed on Wednesday that Richarlison would “miss a minimum of four weeks” with his hamstring injury. So, let’s see what matches he will miss.
What games will Richarlison miss?
The good news is that a substantial chunk of that four-week absence will be eaten up by the international break. But, we estimate the best-case scenario for Richarlison is that he will be out of action until December 1, meaning he will miss five matches in total.

If Richarlison’s injury keeps him out for the upper end of six weeks, Richarlison would be out until around December 15, meaning he could miss another four matches.
