Expert provides major Tottenham injury update ahead of West Ham clash

An injury expert has provided a major update on the fitness of a Tottenham player ahead of the match against West Ham next Saturday, 19 October.

Tottenham's preparations for their upcoming clash against West Ham United on 19 October might take a hit as Brazilian forward Richarlison is likely to miss out due to injury.

Dr. Rajpal Brar, a well-known injury expert, has offered insight into Richarlison's situation, suggesting that unless he returns to training soon, his availability for the game remains in serious doubt.

Richarlison, who has managed just 25 minutes of Premier League action this season, is currently sidelined with a lingering injury.

Dr. Brar's comments to Tottenham News illuminated the uncertainty surrounding the player's fitness. He stated:

"Difficult to say if he’s on track to return right after the break as it all depends on what’s going on behind the scenes. Unless he’s back in training over the coming days, I think he’s likely to miss the next game."

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou's earlier remarks on 19 September, asking fans to refrain from seeking updates until further notice, indicate that the situation with Richarlison is more complicated than initially expected.

His absence from training suggests a longer recovery period may be necessary, putting his return date in question.

This setback will be a real blow for Richarlison, especially after he started to show flashes of his old form towards the end of last season.

He was hoping to build on that momentum this campaign and cement his role in Postecoglou's attacking plans. However, with his current injury woes, that task seems far from straightforward.

With Dominic Solanke already settling in well at the club, the competition for a spot up front is heating up. Richarlison will need to shake off his injury troubles and get back to his best if he wants to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup.
