Galatasaray vs Tottenham Hotspur: UEFA Europa League – BBC Sport

Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison is set for a spell on the sidelines.

Spurs face Galatasaray in the Europa League on Thursday but will be without the Brazilian after he injured his hamstring during Spurs’ 4-1 win against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Defender Cristian Romero will also miss the tie through injury, although his prognosis is more encouraging.

“As of the weekend, Richarlison has unfortunately injured his hamstring, so I’m still getting the final information, but I think he will be out for a while,” Postecoglou told reporters ahead of Thursday’s match in Istanbul.

“Romero, I think hopefully it’s nothing too serious, so still a chance for the weekend.”

German striker Timo Werner and 17-year-old Mikey Moore were both unused substitutes against Villa and neither player has traveled to Turkey.

“Timo Werner has had a bit of a groin complaint which is still there so he didn’t travel and Mikey Moore had a bit of a virus yesterday so we’ve left him at home as well,” Postecoglou said.

“Anyone else who was fit should be available.”

Tottenham are second in the Europa League table with nine points after beating Qarabag, Ferencvaros and AZ Alkmaar.
