On Wednesday (14), instead of cheers and celebrations for Tottenham Hotspur's much-anticipated striker Richard Litchen, who has just returned from the World Cup, there was depressing news: he could be out for up to a month due to injury, which would be a disaster for Spurs, who are in the midst of the Christmas fast-track fixtures.
The British media revealed that Richard Lichen was accidentally injured in the warm-up training for the Brazilian team preparing for the World Cup quarterfinals against Croatia. Despite this, he continued to complete the 84-minute bout until he was substituted. And it seems he had a scan a week earlier than expected upon his return to Tottenham, and it seems he also had a feeling that the injury was serious and at worst would require a month's recuperation.
For Tottenham Hotspur, the blow came too much. The team's ace players, Harry Carney and Son Heung-min, had mediocre performances in the World Cup, especially Carney missed a 12-yard penalty, which led to the elimination of England, which dealt a huge blow to the team's morale. Against this backdrop, even experienced manager Dryland will inevitably have a headache in the face of the upcoming intensive fixtures if Richard Litchen is also unavailable.
