Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte has told the club’s official website that Richarlison is likely to return to training today.
Conte made the comments about Richarlison after his Tottenham side lost to Liverpool at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.
Spurs suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Jurgen Klopp’s side in the Premier League.
Brazil international forward Richarlison did not play in the match due to injury.

Conte said after the match on Sunday: “Now we have Richarlison tomorrow, probably, probably, he could have a training session with us, so that’s also good news for us.”
Good news
In our view, the injury update on Richarlison is very good news for Tottenham Hotspur fans.
Tottenham do have injury problems in the attacking department at the moment, which is a big reason why Ivan Persic was playing in attack with Harry Kane against Liverpool on Sunday.
Lucas Moura is playing with pain, Son Heung-min is injured and will not play before the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar, and Dejan Kulusevski could not start against Liverpool.
So, Richarlison being potentially back this week is brilliant for Spurs.
Tottenham will take on Nottingham Forest away from home at the City Ground in the third round of the EFL Cup in midweek.
Spurs will then lock horns with Leeds United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League next weekend.
