After being sidelined by injury late in Saturday's Premier League victory, there were concerns that Richarlison might be unable to join the squad.
moreover:
The 25-year-old was in tears after the game for fear of being on the touchline for too long, telling ESPN Brasil:
"I can't say much because I'm so close to realizing my dream (of the World Cup). I've had similar injuries myself, and I'm praying for a speedy recovery. The last time I was at Everton, I was out of action for about two months."
What's next for Fort Tenham? The Spurs will miss Richarlison for a few games in a busy schedule. He will first face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday, followed by Newcastle, Sporting and Bournemouth over the next two weeks.
