Richarlison, the Brazilian forward of Tottenham, will be absent in the Carabao Cup clash against Liverpool. Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham's head coach, has announced that the player will not be included in the team's roster for this match due to a lack of agreement for a transfer to Vasco da Gama.
Uncertain situation of Richarlison
Richarlison has recently been removed from Tottenham's 25-man squad for the Premier League and has been informed that he is not part of the team's main plans. This comes as he has been unable to secure a transfer to another club and is now eligible to play in these competitions. De Zerbi stated: "Richarlison, you know everything, and nothing has changed for the Carabao Cup or the Premier League. The situation remains as it was."
Tottenham's challenges this season
Tottenham, which has yet to score a goal in the Premier League this season, is facing many challenges. Richarlison, who was Tottenham's top scorer in the Premier League last season with 11 goals, has remained in North London this season due to a personal disagreement with his former club, Vasco da Gama, and is participating in team training. De Zerbi pointed out: "I spoke to him at the beginning of the season and offered a contract extension. If he says 'thank you', my job is done."
This situation has turned into an unwanted story for Tottenham and De Zerbi. Richarlison played in the first league match of the season against Brentford, but was later informed that he could leave the team. Transfers to Everton and links to Trabzonspor did not materialize, and ultimately he was present in the goalless match against Everton as well.
With Richarlison's absence, De Zerbi is also facing the issue of the absence of Pedro Porro and Sandro Tonali on the trip to Anfield for this match. This comes as Tottenham seeks to score their first goal of the Premier League season, and Richarlison's absence could impact the team's performance.
