Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison has said he could make a sensational return from injury next week.
Spurs were able to secure all three points on Saturday in a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.
And the good news continued for Spurs fans as Richarlison provided an update to the media after the game.
Richarlison injury news
On Friday, it was revealed by Ange Postecoglou that the Brazilian would likely miss up to a month of action as he had sustained a knee injury.
The 26-year-old missed the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium against Crystal Palace, but he did watch from the sidelines.
And after the game, he spoke to ESPN Brazil to provide an update on his recovery.
Despite Postecoglou ruling him out for around four weeks, the striker suggested he could even make a return next weekend against Aston Villa.
Top four clash
Next up for Spurs is a huge clash against Unai Emery’s Villa who currently occupy that fourth spot.
Villa faced Luton Town following Spurs’ win with the goal to regain their five point gap over the Lilywhites.
But Postecoglou’s men do still hold a game in hand over Villa, making Sunday’s game even more interesting.
Emery’s side have been in fine form this season and have already took three points off Spurs this term.
So if Tottenham are to come away from the game with anything, they will need to be on top form and having Richarlison back could be a huge boost.
The Brazilian has netted nine in his last 10 league games, but Heung-min Son’s form has been equally as impressive.
Without Richarlison, Spurs could certainly still pose a threat with Timo Werner now also up and running in a Spurs shirt.
