Hamstring was injured in the Aston Villa match on the 11th.
[서울=뉴시스] Reporter Ha Geun-soo = Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison of the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) was out of action due to a hamstring (muscle behind the thigh) injury.
Tottenham will play a home game in the 22nd round of the 2025-2026 EPL season against West Ham United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England at 0:00 am (Korean time) on the 18th.
According to the British media ‘Guardian’, Tottenham coach Thomas Frank attended the pre-match press conference against West Ham and said, “Unfortunately, Richie (nicknamed Richarlison) will be out for up to seven weeks due to a hamstring injury.”
Richarlison started in the third round (round of 64) of the English Football Association (FA Cup) against Aston Villa on the 11th, but was replaced in the 31st minute after feeling a hamstring problem.
This season, Richarlison has scored 7 goals (3 assists) in the league and 1 goal in the UEFA Champions League (UCL), scoring the most goals in the team with a total of 8 goals.
This is an awkward situation for Tottenham, who are already experiencing serious power leakage due to injuries to key resources James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Mohamed Kudus.
Tottenham prepares for the match against West Ham with the rest of its attacking resources, including Mathis Tell, Xavi Simmons, Wilson Odover, and Randal Kolo Muani.
Coach Frank said, “We are actively entering the transfer market to strengthen the squad. However, it must be reinforcement that will help in both the short and long term. It should not be reinforcement just for the next four months.”
He added, “When one player returns, another player seems to get injured. This is a common occurrence in soccer.
You have to get through difficult times well. “We must remain calm and keep moving forward,” he emphasized.
Meanwhile, Tottenham (27 points, 7 wins, 6 draws, 8 losses), who will face off in the 22nd round of the EPL, is at the bottom of the leaderboard at 14th place, and West Ham (14 points, 3 wins, 5 draws, 13 losses) is at the bottom of the rankings at 18th place.
