De Zerbi Confirms Richarlison's Absence for Liverpool Clash

Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi announced that Richarlison will not be available for the Carabao Cup clash against Liverpool, despite the Brazilian forward being eligible to play. The decision is linked to Richarlison's expressed desire to leave Tottenham during the summer transfer window, which resulted in him being left out of the club's 25-man Premier League squad.

De Zerbi revealed that he made several attempts to persuade Richarlison to stay at Spurs, but the player remained resolute in seeking a transfer. Although Richarlison ultimately stayed at the club after a proposed transfer did not materialize, he remains sidelined, contributing to Tottenham's attacking difficulties following their failure to score in the first four Premier League matches.
