Story summary

Richarlison, a Brazilian forward at Tottenham Hotspur, is facing uncertainty after his planned transfer back to Vasco De Gama in Brazil fell through due to disagreements over personal terms. Similar issues with Everton and Trabzonspor earlier this year left him without a club move. As of now, Richarlison cannot play in the Premier League but is eligible for the Carabao Cup under EFL regulation 6.2. Despite his eligibility, Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham's head coach, decided Richarlison would not participate against Liverpool in an upcoming Carabao Cup match on Tuesday. De Zerbi confirmed during a pre-match press conference that Richarlison’s situation remains unchanged for both the Carabao Cup and Premier League competitions.
