Team news | Richarlison training, closing in on return | OneFootball

Ange Postecoglou reports that Richarlison is back in full training and it’s now just a matter of timing his return to action.

The Brazil striker has been sidelined since pulling up with a calf muscle injury in our Carabao Cup semi-final, second leg against Liverpool at Anfield on 6 February.

He’s missed eight games so far on the road to recovery, but there was good news from Ange on Wednesday morning as preparations continue for our return to Premier League action with a huge clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday evening (8pm UK).

Speaking on Inside Spurs, Ange told us: “Richy’s training with the group, again, it's about when we reintroduce him to the matchday squad, but he's training with the main training group, which is positive.”

There was further good news for Richy this morning when we announced that he’d been recognised on this year’s Football Black List alongside Foundation Head of Programmes, Tara Tewarie and project coordinator, André Thomas.
