Tottenham striker Richarlison World Cup dream remains on

Tottenham striker Richarlison's World Cup dream remains on.

Spurs boss Antonio Conte has arrived for his press conference ahead of Wednesday's match with Manchester United and brought good news: Richarlison will be fit for the World Cup.

Conte revealed that contrary to reports, the forward will be fine to represent Brazil in Qatar - and may even return for Spurs before the Premier League breaks in the middle of November.

"I can confirm this: that the player is not as risk of missing the World Cup. Absolutely not," Conte said.

“He has an injury but it is not a serious injury. I hope he can play games for us before the World Cup."
