Spurs to lose Richarlison for a month

Tottenham forward Richarlison is set to miss roughly a month of football due to a knee injury. 

According to Spurs boss Ange Postecoglu, the Brazilian will be sidelined for "three to four weeks" after sustaining the knock in his side's 2-1 defeat to Wolves in mid-February. 

In 22 Premier League games, Richarlison had already reached double figures, with 10, and had hit nine league goals in his past 10 games. 

"Richy is disappointed because he's been a key contributor, but that has been how our season has gone," said Postecoglou.

Although the likes of James Maddison and Micky van de Ven are now fit again, Tottenham are currently without defender Pedro Porro and Ryan Sessegnon is set to miss the rest of the campaign after undergoing surgery on a hamstring injury this week. 

Currently fifth in the top flight, Tottenham host Crystal Palace on Saturday.
