Ange Postecoglou confirms surprise player will get playing time after Richarlison injury

Ange Postecoglou has confirmed which player will benefit the most from Richarlison’s latest injury setback.

The Brazilian is ruled out for a few weeks after he picked up an unfortunate injury during a recent training session.

And Postecoglou, who is preparing to face Newcastle United on Sunday, has revealed that academy starlet Will Lankshear is in line for his first-team debut.

Although the 19-year-old is also out injured, his setback is not thought to be serious and will see him return a lot sooner than Richarlison.
