Report Claims: Injury update on Richarlison ahead of Brentford with Kane leaving Spurs
In what comes as a big boost to Tottenham, Alasdair Gold has revealed on Football.London that Richarlison is fit to start against Brentford on Sunday.
The responsibility is now set to fall on Richarlison’s shoulders to lead the line for Tottenham during the upcoming season, with Harry Kane on the brink of completing a move to Bayern Munich (Fabrizio Romano).
The Brazilian had a disappointing first season at the North London club but he will be hoping to show the best version of himself to Spurs fans in the upcoming campaign, now that he is likely to feature in his preferred number nine role.Richarlison should be fit to start vs Brentford
Rumours were circulating on social media on Thursday that the 25-year-old, who has impressed during pre-season for Ange Postecoglou’s men, had picked up an injury and was in need of surgery.
However, Ricahrlison himself took to Instagram to dismiss those suggestions, describing those reports as: ‘Fake’.
Gold has now confirmed that the former Everton man has shaken off the minor injury he had and is expected to lead the line at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday.
Spurs Web Opinion
Richarlison looked extremely sharp during pre-season and I expect him to hit the ground running on Sunday. While Kane’s loss is obviously huge, a front four of Maddison, Son, Kulusesvski and Richarlison will give nightmares to Premier League defences.
