JAKARTA - Tottenham Hotspur's player, Richarlison, is in danger of not being able to appear with the Brazilian national team at the 2022 World Cup. He suffered an injury that could break his dream of appearing in Qatar.

Richarlison is rumored to have left Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with tears in his eyes after suffering an injury against Everton in the Premier League on Saturday, October 15.

In the match against Everton, the Brazilian national team player was replaced by Yves Bissouma in the 52nd minute. He was reported to have had a calf injury.

"It's a bit difficult to say because it's close to the realization of my dream (World Cup). I've suffered a similar injury to this, but I hope this recovers as quickly as possible," Richarlison said, after the match, as quoted by The Sun.

"Last time I was at Everton, I was out for about two months due to this injury. I know it's hard to talk at the moment, but let's see later, I'll recover."

"I have to stay positive if I want to go to Qatar. Everything is very close, about a month away. Unfortunately, today I suffered this calf injury, but now it's just a matter of waiting, taking care of it every day so I can recover as soon as possible," he continued.

With only 34 days remaining for the World Cup, Richarlison has to race against time to recover quickly.

Please note, this injury was obtained in Everton's penalty area right after the break. He massaged his calf with a sad expression on his face as Spurs medics rushed to treat him.

A quick decision was made by pulling Richarlison. He then bit his costume and looked emotional after being pulled out.

Tottenham's manager, Antonio Conte, looked worried when Richarlison limped. He said the player would undergo further examination.

"We don't know, we hope it's not too serious. He's going to have an MRI to understand his injury," Conte said.
