Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham Hotspur's head coach, confirmed that Richarlison will not play in the upcoming Carabao Cup match against Liverpool due to ongoing issues between the player and the club. Despite being eligible under EFL rules, Richarlison responded to this news on X (formerly Twitter) with a crying face emoji, reflecting his disappointment over not playing competitive senior football for up to four months while transfer talks remain unresolved. De Zerbi also mentioned that he has tried multiple times to convince Richarlison to stay but without success, indicating a strained relationship between the player and the club.

Story summary
Richarlison, a Brazilian forward at Tottenham Hotspur, is facing uncertainty after his planned transfer back to Vasco De Gama in Brazil fell through due to disagreements over personal terms. Similar issues with Everton and Trabzonspor earlier this year left him without a club move. As of now, Richarlison cannot play in the Premier League but is eligible for the Carabao Cup under EFL regulation 6.2. Despite his eligibility, Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham's head coach, decided Richarlison would not participate against Liverpool in an upcoming Carabao Cup match on Tuesday. De Zerbi confirmed during a pre-match press conference that Richarlison’s situation remains unchanged for both the Carabao Cup and Premier League competitions.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
