Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed that Richarlison will not be available for Tottenham’s Carabao Cup clash against Liverpool, despite the Brazilian forward being eligible to play in the competition.
De Zerbi said the decision is linked to the ongoing situation between Richarlison and the club. The 29-year-old was left out of Tottenham’s 25-man Premier League squad after expressing his desire to leave the club during the summer transfer window.
De Zerbi also revealed that he had tried several times to convince Richarlison to remain at Spurs, but the player remained determined to pursue a move away. As a result, Richarlison remains sidelined and will not feature against Liverpool, adding to Tottenham’s attacking concerns after they failed to score in their opening four Premier League matches.
