‘Out for a while’ – Ange Postecoglou gives worrying Tottenham injury update
Ange Postecoglou has issued a worrying update on Tottenham forward Richarlison after he sustained an injury last weekend. Spurs are back in Europa League action on Thursday night as they face the Turkish side in Istanbul, live on talkSPORT 2.

Postecoglou was forced to take off both Cristian Romero and Richarlison through injury during Sunday’s win over Aston Villa. The Spurs boss has now confirmed the extent of the pair’s injuries, with Richarlison set to be out for ‘a while.’ Meanwhile, he also provided updates on two more players who have not travelled to Turkey for tomorrow’s match. Speaking during his pre-match press conference, Postecouglou explained: “From the weekend, Richy injured his hamstring. He’ll be out for a while. “Romero nothing too serious, still a chance for the weekend. “Timo Werner a little bit of a groin issue he’s carrying, so he didn’t travel and Mikey Moore has a bit of a virus so he was left at home, everyone else who was fit should be available.” Richarlison played just 26 minutes off the bench before limping off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. The Brazilian was able to set up Dominic Solanke during his cameo in the 4-1 victory, though. Romero also required treatment before coming off shortly before the hour mark, but could return against Ipswich this weekend.
