Richarlison was forced to come off during the first half of Tottenham Hotspur's clash against Aston Villa. The Lilywhites striker appeared to suffer a hamstring injury after making a run behind the opposition backline.
Shortly after pulling up, Richarlison hit the deck. While the Brazil international received some on-field treatment from the Spurs medical staff, Thomas Frank called an impromptu team meeting with Xavi Simons, Kevin Danso, and Archie Gray.
The Tottenham boss held a magnetic tactics board in one hand and gestured with the other. Richarlison was eventually helped to his feet and ushered off the pitch.
A few moments later, Randal Kolo Muani was brought on. As it stands, the severity of the Brazilian's problem remains to be seen, and Frank will be expected to provide on update in his post-match press conference.
Richarlison has somewhat established himself as a regular in the Dane's side this season. The 28-year-old has already featured 30 times for Spurs this season, scoring eight goals and providing three assists.
