Tottenham star Richarlison fires clear injury return hint after three-word message before West Ham

Tottenham striker Richarlison has made his feelings ahead of a possible comeback perfectly clear online. After missing each of the last eight matches in all competitions through injury, the Brazilian appears close to a return.

Now competing against Dominic Solanke for a starting spot up front, his chances to cement a spot in the side have been complicated.

With over just one goal in his past 10 Premier League games, Richarlison has been a peripheral figure so far at Spurs.

Richarlison has been spotted back in training after overcoming his calf strain. Although this has so far been solo work, it is hoped that he will be back with his teammates before long.

Due to his issues, getting back into the matchday squad is likely to be extremely carefully managed.

For now, Richarlison himself seems to have all but confirmed an imminent return. Reposting an image from Tottenham photographer Sam Cornish on Instagram, Richarlison shared the "It's comeback time" message sent to him.

Although Richarlison himself did not write this, he looks to have endorsed the sentiment, and it comes at a good time too. Postecoglou and Tottenham suffered a damaging 3-2 defeat to Brighton before the break, throwing away a two-goal lead.

They will next welcome West Ham, who got their first win of the season in a 4-1 hammering of Ipswich last time out. It is the first of a key run of games for Spurs, who have crucial Europa League matches to come as well as domestic fixtures against Manchester City and Aston Villa on the horizon.
