Tottenham forward Richarlison netted one for the youth team during their English Football League Trophy clash against Cheltenham Town. After a thrilling 2-2 draw in normal time, the match ended in heartbreak for the Spurs as they fell 6-7 in the penalties.
The Brazilian managed to convert his spot-kick, but this hasn't altered his precarious position within the club. The 29-year-old is still not listed in Tottenham's Premier League squad.
This appearance marks only Richarlison's second outing this season. His anticipated return to Everton during the summer never materialised. Head coach Roberto De Zerbi has previously mentioned that the player himself had requested a transfer, with the club's hierarchy making the decision to omit him from the squad.
Meanwhile, the first team is currently facing a significant goal-scoring drought. Tottenham have managed just three goals in the Premier League, leaving them languishing near the bottom of the table. Clarification regarding Richarlison's future is expected to come with the opening of the January transfer window.
