Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi says forward Richarlison will not be included in the squad for Tuesday’s League Cup third-round match against Liverpool.
Multiple outlets report that the omission is confirmed despite discussion around Richarlison’s prior record against Liverpool. One source notes De Zerbi frames the decision as unchanged, indicating that Richarlison remains unavailable for the fixture.
The reports also place the selection decision alongside Spurs’ broader attacking struggles. One outlet highlights that Spurs have not scored in four Premier League matches and have won only two points from their opening league games, contributing to increased scrutiny on the team’s goal output. Another describes Tottenham’s lack of goals and mentions that Richarlison has previously had an impactful record versus Liverpool, making his absence a notable development.
All sources agree on the core point: Richarlison is ruled out for the League Cup tie at Anfield, while the surrounding context varies between outlets’ emphasis on Tottenham’s scoring drought and De Zerbi’s stance on whether Richarlison’s status has changed.
