Report: Tottenham star is set to be dropped this week on international duty

Things are going from bad to worse for Richarlison, as the Tottenham Hotspur man now looks set to be replaced in Brazil’s starting line-up for the next international fixture by Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus.

Richarlison has had a difficult 18 months since joining Tottenham Hotspur. The 26-year-old was brought in with high expectations, but his performance, particularly last season, was dismal, with Richarlison scoring only three goals overall and one league goal (Transfermarkt).

Under Ange Postecoglou, there seems to have been a modest improvement this year. Richarlison has scored twice so far this season, making his Premier League debut far earlier than he did last time around (Transfermarkt).

Richarlison has always appeared to perform well for Brazil, despite his patchy performance at the club level. The Spurs player scored 20 goals in 47 games for his nation after scoring at the World Cup the previous year (Transfermarkt).

However, it appears that Richarlison’s problems are beginning to affect his reputation abroad, as Brazilian publication Globo reports that he will now be benched for the forthcoming match against Uruguay.

Richarlison, Danilo, and Guilhermo Arana all appear to be out for the World Cup qualifier, according to Brazil manager Fernando Diniz, who plans to make three changes.

Richarlison’s situation will only get worse as Gabriel Jesus, his Arsenal rival, is about to kick off the match. Since his nation defeated South Korea in the World Cup’s second round in December, Richarlison has yet to score for his nation.

Spurs Web Opinion

Richarlison is one of the Spurs players I care about the most and I have a lot of sympathy for him. There is such a talented player there, but he relies heavily on confidence, which just doesn’t appear to be there at the moment. He needs to score one or two goals for Spurs shortly.
