Tottenham’s Richarlison out for seven weeks with hamstring injury

Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison will be sidelined for almost two months with a hamstring injury, coach Thomas Frank said on Thursday, dealing a blow to the club’s attacking options ahead of Saturday’s London derby at home to West Ham United.

The Brazilian’s absence is a significant setback with the forward having scored seven goals and provided three assists in the Premier League this season.

“Richy unfortunately got a hamstring injury which will keep him out for up to seven weeks,” Frank told reporters.
