Richarlison is available to face Manchester City on Sunday, according to Tottenham Hotspur assistant manager Cristian Stellini.
With a “small problem,” the Brazil international missed Spurs’ FA Cup win over Preston.
Richarlison, on the other hand, has recovered and has been able to train with Tottenham this week.
“Richarlison has trained all week,” Stellini told the official Spurs website.
“He had a minor issue before the Preston game.
“He recovered quickly, so he’ll be ready for the next game.”
Tottenham has two excellent attacking options on the bench.
Good news for Tottenham Hotspur ahead of a crucial Premier League match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Richarlison has been out of form since the World Cup due to an injury he sustained in Qatar.
The £175,000-a-week star’s absence against Preston appears to have been precautionary, as he recovered quickly.
Stellini will now be able to choose between Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski on the right flank.
Spurs will have two quality attacking options on the bench with Arnaut Danjuma also in the squad.
Tottenham has a good recent record against City – three wins from the last five in all competitions.
It’ll be a difficult game, but the Spurs have the chance to get their top-four hopes right back on track with a win.
Lucas Moura and Pedro Porro Stellini have both confirmed that Lucas Moura is available, though he has hinted that he may not be fully match-ready just yet.
“Lucas played for the Under-21s and is back,” Antonio Conte’s deputy said.
“He needs some work time, but he’s back.”
Pedro Porro could also make his Tottenham debut.
“He could be (against City),” Stellini said.
“He played in a system similar to ours (at Sporting), he’s available, and we could use him.”
