ISTANBUL (AA) - Tottenham Hotspur said on Friday that striker Richarlison would be out for two or three weeks due to a knee injury.

"Going through from the last game, Richy picked up a bit of a knee injury so he's going to missing for two or three weeks," manager Ange Postecoglou said in a statement.

"He's had a great middle part of the season for us and been a big contributor but that's kind of how his season has gone and we'll just have to compensate for him not being there," he added.

The 26-year-old Brazilian, who has also played for Fluminense, Watford, and Everton, scored nine goals in his last 10 Premier League appearances.

Tottenham rank fifth with 47 points in the English Premier League.
