Richarlison attends Tottenham vs Arsenal U21 to show support for goalscoring returnee Lucas Moura
Tottenham Hotspur star Richarlison was spotted in attendance at the club’s latest U21 outing on Friday evening.
This comes with a compatriot and close friend of the Brazilian having played his part in the clash amid ongoing efforts to secure a return to match fitness.
The player in question? Lucas Moura.
Wide-man Lucas has of course barely featured for Antonio Conte’s Spurs this term, owing to a niggling tendon problem.
Having stepped up his recovery over the course of the last couple of weeks, though, the 30-year-old, this evening, took another significant jump towards a return to first-team action.
This came as Lucas marked his comeback to the pitch, in featuring from the off in an U21 North London Derby.

And, as alluded to above, front and centre in attendance at the derby clash was Lucas’ fellow countryman, Richarlison.
As showcased in the photo below, hitman Richarlison – himself a recent injury returnee – brought a personalised, tongue-in-cheek sign to show his support for Lucas, on a night which provided a reason to smile for a Spurs fanbase otherwise forced to endure another difficult campaign to date:
