Boost for Tottenham ahead of Manchester United clash

This Sunday, Tottenham visit Manchester United at Old Trafford for MD6 of the Premier League, and the Spurs may have received a boost ahead of the match.

Tottenham Hotspur have received a timely boost ahead of their crucial Premier League showdown against Manchester United at Old Trafford this Sunday, as Brazilian striker Richarlison has returned to training.

The 27-year-old forward has been out of action due to an injury sustained during training, but his presence back on the pitch offers a positive sign for manager Ange Postecoglou.

Richarlison’s return to training comes at a critical time for Spurs, who are aiming to extend their winning streak and secure an important three points against United.

However, despite this good news, concerns remain over the fitness of captain Heung-min Son. The South Korean star suffered a hamstring issue during Tottenham’s 3-0 Europa League victory over Qarabag, leaving his availability for the upcoming match in doubt.

Son’s injury has raised worries among Spurs fans, as his leadership and attacking threat are pivotal for the team’s success.

Nevertheless, Richarlison’s return offers hope that Tottenham can still field a strong attacking line, even if Son is unable to feature.

While it is unlikely that the Brazilian will start, his inclusion in the squad provides much-needed depth, especially with a busy schedule of fixtures looming in both domestic and European competitions.

Michael Bridge of Sky Sports confirmed Richarlison’s progress, stating:

"There is potentially some early good news for Tottenham, it’s early days, but Richarlison is back out on the grass. Ange said to us last week, please no questions on Richarlison, he is not being considered at the moment, he is injured. But that is potentially some good news for Spurs there."

Though Richarlison has only made two substitute appearances in the Premier League this season due to injury, his return will be welcomed by the Tottenham faithful.

The Brazilian remained with the club despite transfer speculation over the summer, and now he faces the challenge of competing with new signing Dominic Solanke for a starting role.
