# Tottenham: Richarlison leaves stadium on crutches

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) star Richarlison left the stadium on crutches on Saturday after sustaining an injury in Spurs’ 2-0 win over Everton, according to journalist Dan Kilpatrick.**

### **The Lowdown: Richarlison’s injury**

Harry Kane marked his [400th appearance](https://www.skysports.com/football/tottenham-hotspur-vs-everton/report/464743) in a Lilywhites shirt with a goal this weekend as the north London club sealed victory over the Toffees, moving them [one point](https://www.skysports.com/premier-league-table) behind [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) leaders Arsenal.

Having featured in Antonio Conte’s [starting XI](https://www.skysports.com/football/tottenham-hotspur-vs-everton/teams/464743), the Brazil international only managed [52 minutes](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/richarlison-injury-tottenham-world-cup-b1032956.html) after pulling up with a calf strain, forcing him off the pitch with a gingerly walk.

### **The Latest: Kilpatrick’s news**

Kilpatrick has now shared an update on Richarlison after the player was visibly distraught over his injury blow in the aftermath of the Premier League clash.

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Dan_KP/status/1581376263499157504), the journalist claimed: “Tearful Richarlison leaves Spurs stadium on crutches amid fears his World Cup dream could be over.”

In the [attached article](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/richarlison-injury-tottenham-world-cup-b1032956.html), the 25-year-old is quoted as having subsequently told ESPN Brasil: “It’s kind of hard to say because it’s close to the realisation of my dream \[of the World Cup\].

“I’ve already suffered a similar injury to this, but I hope it can heal as soon as possible. The last time when I was at Everton, I was out of action for about two months.

“I know it’s hard to talk at this moment, but let’s see, I’ll recover. Monday, I have an exam but even walking hurts. I have to stay positive if I want to go to Qatar.”

### **The Verdict: Massive blow**

If Richarlison is deemed unfit for the next few months, this will come as a collective blow for the player, the Brazil national team and Tottenham.

In the Champions League this season, the attacker has averaged the [third-highest match rating](https://www.sofascore.com/team/football/tottenham-hotspur/33) out of the entire Spurs squad, having contributed 2.3 shots, 1.5 key passes and 0.8 dribbles per game as a starter in all four of the Lilywhites’ continental clashes (via [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham)).

Hailed as a [‘warrior’](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/antonio-conte-richarlison-tottenham-fulham-premier-league-2022-b1022950.html) by Conte, Spurs fans will be hoping for good news in the next few days regarding Richarlison, as his absence alongside [Dejan Kulusevski’s](https://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjCmYj65-T6AhXKi1wKHSB1BecQFnoECAwQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.football.london%2Ftottenham-hotspur-fc%2Ffixtures-results%2Fdejan-kulusevski-tottenham-injury-everton-25264237&usg=AOvVaw0Mu9KLj-Qmt5m86oFubktX) will come as a huge setback for the team.
