Richarlison not in Spurs League Cup squad, says De Zerbi
Tottenham Hotspur boss Roberto De Zerbi leaves out Brazilian forward Richarlison despite his impressive record against Liverpool as Spurs struggle for goals.
Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi revealed that Richarlison will not be part of the team for their upcoming League Cup match against Liverpool. Despite Richarlison's impressive record against Liverpool, he has been left out of the 25-man squad. The Brazilian forward, who started Tottenham's Premier League opener at Brentford, was informed by the club that he would not be part of their first-team plans.
De Zerbi confirmed that Richarlison's situation remains the same for both the Carabao Cup and Premier League, but the Italian struggled to secure a departure. The ex-Everton forward turned down a move to Vasco da Gama last week and also failed to secure a transfer to Trabzonspor. Richarlison, 29, attended the goalless draw against Everton on Saturday but will remain on the sidelines for the League Cup match.
The Italian manager admitted that he and the club are currently at odds, as Richarlison did not want to extend his contract.
