"Tottenham forward Richarlison has been ruled out for up to seven weeks with a hamstring injury. The 28-year-old is Spurs' top scorer this season with seven goals in 21 Premier League games. Thomas Frank's side host West Ham in a London derby on Saturday (15:00 GMT) and have won just one of their past seven matches in all competitions. They were knocked out of the FA Cup by Aston Villa at the weekend and are currently 14th in the top flight."
""First and foremost he is a very good player, great experience in the Premier League, also in La Liga, captained teams," the Dane said. "So that character, that leadership, that experience, and still young with plenty of development to reach, but coming in at a good level, bringing his pressing abilities, his directness, scoring goals, but also being able to find good positions on the pitch.""
Richarlison will miss up to seven weeks with a hamstring injury, removing Spurs' top scorer from the squad. Tottenham have won only one of their last seven matches and were recently eliminated from the FA Cup, leaving them 14th in the Premier League. Lucas Bergvall and Yves Bissouma are available again, and Destiny Udogie and Dominic Solanke could feature against West Ham. Tottenham have signed England midfielder Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid for £35m, with expectations that his experience, leadership and pressing qualities will strengthen the team. John Heitinga has joined as an assistant coach.
