LondoncTypeface:> Tottenham forward Richarlison is primed to start upon his return from injury for Sunday’s north London derby with Arsenal.
Spurs enter this home fixture after a two-week break, which has allowed Richarlison to fully recover from a knee injury that halted an impressive run of nine goals in 10 matches and prevented him starting since February 17. Tottenham have struggled for consistency in Richarlison’s absence and lost 4-0 at Newcastle a fortnight ago, but the Brazil international is ready to provide a point of difference and bring the physicality to Arsenal’s rock-solid defence on Sunday. Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou revealed: “When he’s been in, he’s been really good for us but then had two injuries and started the season with an injury. “Great to have him back and it does gives us other options in that front third. We’re kind of really fortunate that he was at his best when Sonny (Heung-min Son) was away and he filled that breach. “Richy’s looked good in training this week, which is good and he’s obviously ready to go. We’re going to need him over the last six games and it does give us another good option in that front third.” (PA Media/dpa)
