Ange Postecoglou and his team will have to make do without Richarlison as they prepare to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this weekend. While there were concerns about Brennan Johnson’s injury, it seems that he will indeed be able to take on his boyhood club.
Richarlison, who has been dealing with a knee issue, has been coming off the bench in the last three games for Tottenham. The decision has been made to rest the Brazilian forward this weekend to allow him to recover from the injury. Ange Postecoglou mentioned that Richarlison will miss the upcoming fixture due to a “bit of a niggle” in his knee.
Despite missing out on the game against Nottingham Forest, Richarlison is expected to return to action against Newcastle United in the following week. However, if his knee discomfort persists, it could open up an opportunity for Brennan Johnson to secure a place in the starting lineup against Eddie Howe’s side, competing against Dejan Kulusevski, Timo Werner, and Son Heung-min.
Ange Postecoglou provided an update on Richarlison’s injury, stating that while Brennan Johnson is fine, Richy will be given the weekend off to recover. The focus is on preparing him for the match against Newcastle United, with the rest of the team in good health.
