De Zerbi Excludes Richarlison from Liverpool League Cup Tie
Tottenham Hotspur's coach Roberto De Zerbi confirmed that Richarlison will not be part of the squad for the League Cup tie against Liverpool on Tuesday. This decision comes despite Tottenham's struggles for goals, as the Brazilian forward was omitted from the club's 25-man Premier League player list earlier this month after being informed he was not in the first-team plans.
Richarlison, who turned down a move to Vasco da Gama last week, is eligible to play in the League Cup but will remain sidelined. De Zerbi stated that the situation regarding Richarlison has not changed, emphasizing that the relationship and issues are between the player and the club.
He mentioned that he had spoken to Richarlison multiple times about extending his contract, but the player declined. Richarlison started the Premier League opener against Brentford but was told he could leave, with a potential move to Everton collapsing.
De Zerbi will also be without Pedro Porro and Sandro Tonali for the match at Anfield.
