Tottenham striker Richarlison has announced he's set for pelvic surgery.

Richarlson admits he's been carrying the issue for eight months.

"The last few months haven't been easy for me. I've also been suffering with my health," he told ESPN Brazil.

"I've already spoken to the doctors and I'll soon have surgery on my pubis.

"I've been suffering for eight months, fighting for the national team and my club and I didn't look for me.

"I think the time has come to rest, take a break," he added. "Let's see the next few days, soon I'll do what's best for me."
