‘It’s a finger, even if he loses it, it won’t really matter. He can still play, he’s fine,’ said the Australian.
However, Richarlison is going to be out for the majority of March due to a knee injury he suffered in the recent defeat to Wolves.
The Brazilian will be hoping to be fit for his country’s friendly against England on 23 March, and asked if the forward would be able to be called up for international duty, Postecoglou could not confirm.
‘No idea,’ said the Spurs boss. ‘We’ve still got, what, two weeks to go before then" As I said yesterday, it’s two to three weeks?
