Richarlison's Injury Leaves Spurs Struggling Ahead of London Derby

Tottenham Hotspur faces a challenging period as forward Richarlison suffers a significant hamstring injury, sidelining him for nearly two months. The injury diminishes Spurs' attacking power as they prepare for the London derby against West Ham United. Manager Thomas Frank encourages the team to focus on performance.

Tottenham Hotspur's attack has taken a hit as forward Richarlison is sidelined for up to seven weeks due to a hamstring injury, according to coach Thomas Frank. This development comes just ahead of the club's upcoming London derby against West Ham United, posing challenges to Spurs' strategic lineup.

Richarlison, who has been pivotal this season with seven goals and three assists in the Premier League, will be a notable absence. 'Richy unfortunately got a hamstring injury which will keep him out for up to seven weeks,' Frank reported. The forward's injury coincides with Spurs looking to improve their performance after a disappointing FA Cup exit against Aston Villa.

Despite the setback, Frank is urging his team to concentrate on their performance. 'It's a big London derby, but it's all about us,' he stated. Meanwhile, Spurs may see the return of players like Yves Bissouma, while other key squad members are nearing full fitness. Frank also praised new signing Conor Gallagher for his leadership and experience.
