Tottenham coach De Zerbi rules Richarlison out of Liverpool clash

Tottenham coach Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed that forward Richarlison will not be in the squad for the League Cup tie against Liverpool on Tuesday. This was reported by Punch Nigeria.

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola is still learning which players can cope with the demands of playing every three days as his side prepare to host Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup third round. He said some players, like captain Virgil van Dijk, have shown they can handle the demanding schedule, but assessing younger players and recent arrivals would take more time, according to Free Malaysia Today.

Iraola also mentioned that managing workloads remains a key challenge for his side, which has made an inconsistent start to the Premier League season.
