The Brazilian revealed he even had to stop shooting in order to stop the pain, which made a severe effect not only physically, but mentally as well.
“I’m very happy to be back playing,” said Richarlison. “I recovered very quickly and this has been an extra motivation for me. Since last year, I had been suffering from these pains and felt a lot especially when it was time to finish.”
“So much so that I didn’t even practice kicking in the warm-up before the games, because it always got worse and I couldn’t do the simplest movements afterwards without feeling discomfort.”
In the end, after consulting with manager Ange Postecoglou Richalrison decided to take on the surgery and to much greater effect.
Since returning he has scored 2 goals, which proved to be instrumental in Tottenham’s 4-1 win over Newcastle.
