Tottenham Striker Richarlison to Have Pelvic Surgery After Struggling with Health Issues and Poor Form

26-year-old Spurs forward anticipates a break from professional football after acknowledging poor performances for club and country, and planning pelvic surgery to address health problems.

• Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison has decided to undergo pelvic surgery, acknowledging health issues and a decline in his performance in recent months.
• Richarlison was excluded from the recent fixture against Chelsea and remained on the bench during Tottenham's 4-1 defeat as part of Spurs' manager decision.
• Acknowledging his poor form, the 26-year-old also agreed with Brazil manager Fernando Diniz's decision not to include him in the squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Argentina and Colombia.
• Despite his health struggles, Richarlison has been striving for his club and national team over the past eight months without prioritizing self-care, leading to the decision for surgery.
• Richarlison's form has faltered since his move from Everton to Spurs last summer, scoring only five goals in 46 games, although there was a slight improvement as he registered a goal and three assists in his last six matches.
