Richarlison, crying and on crutches, fears for the World Cup

There is a little more than a month before the start of the World Cup and every time a player who has the opportunity to participate in it leaves the field injured, the alarm immediately spreads in the country of the national team he represents.

This is the case of Richarlison, who took a bath early due to an injury during the Premier League match he played with Tottenham against Everton.

It was the 52nd minute when Richarlison fell to the grass and held his hand to the calf of his left leg after receiving a blow. A few seconds later he asked for a change and was replaced.

“It hurts to even walk”

The alarm was raised after the meeting when Richarlison appeared at the press conference leaning on crutches and, with tears in his eyes, confessed that his leg hurt even to walk.

“It’s a bit difficult to talk about. I’ve suffered a similar injury. Last time, I was unemployed for about two months. Look, I have an exam on Monday but even walking hurts. I have to think positively to go to Qatar. It’s coming soon. everything,” Richarlison told ESPN with a shaking voice, crying non-stop in the locker room.

Conte confirmed his withdrawal on Wednesday against United

In the absence of a diagnosis from Chelsea, their manager Antonio Conte confirmed after the match that they will miss Wednesday’s league trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.

“Yes, for sure. He felt something in his calf and he will not be available for that game,” Conte said. “I think he needs some time to recover. It’s a shame because we are talking about a player who gives us a lot of quality but is also strong and improves our intensity”.
