Richarlison to return to Tottenham action next week in boost to Ange Postecoglou after club turned down January approach from Brazil

Richarlison will give Ange Postecoglou a boost by returning to action next week - as it emerged Tottenham have turned down an approach for the striker from Brazilian side Flamengo.

The 27-year-old has been absent since limping off in the Carabao Cup semi-final defeat by Liverpool in February. He cut a dejected figure as he was forced off only weeks after returning from a hamstring injury that had kept him out since November.

He has managed just 14 appearances for Spurs this season but manager Postecoglou should have him available for the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final against Eintracht Frankfurt a week on Thursday.
