Thomas Frank believes that something has changed with Richarlison at Tottenham this season, and people deserve credit behind the scenes.Frank has had to deal with a sizable injury list at Tottenham at the start of this season, with Spurs being particularly badly affected up front.Injuries to Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani have meant that the Dane has had to trust Richarlison to lead the line in almost every game so far this season.While the Brazilian has blown hot and cold, uncharacteristically, he has been able to pull through fitness-wise so far.(Credit @thefrederikkejensen / Instagram)Thomas Frank reveals why Richarlison has been able to stay fit at TottenhamOver the past two seasons, the striker has struggled to remain fit for any sustained length of time, and Frank admitted that the staff at the club have worked on building up his fitness since the summer.Tottenham’s medical department has come under a lot of criticism of late for the way they have handled certain injuries, but Frank believes that they deserve a lot of credit for getting Richarlison to his current levels.When asked about the Brazilian managing to avoid injuries so far this season, the Spurs head coach said (via Football.London): “I would say the medical and performance department have done a top job in terms of building him. I think it’s quite remarkable that he’s fit with his history.“I think we took some good decisions. For example, the first friendly we played, he was just too short, so he didn’t play the 45 minutes. There’s been training sessions where we’ve probably [thought], ‘hmm, not today’.“We came back from the last international break, didn’t start him. So there’ve been bits of those. Right now, we haven’t been forced into games where we had to play him if that makes sense. He’s built an extra layer, which I think is good.”Frank still expects Richarlison to cover a lot of groundWhile the 28-year-old’s workload in training may have been reduced, Frank made it clear that he is expected to work as hard as anyone during matches.The Tottenham boss revealed that he has been happy with the former Everton man’s work rate while leading the line.When asked if Richarlison’s injury record means that he runs and presses slightly less than he used to, Frank responded: “Oof, that’s difficult for me. That’s a default in me, I get so annoyed if they’re not running. They need to do something unbelievable, remarkable if they’re allowed not to run. So the short answer is no!“So far I’ve been happy with his attitude and his work-rate and also quite a bit of his performances, but there are still things that could be improved, of course.”READ MORE: Tottenham fans are all saying the same thing about Yang Min-hyeok after stunning goalThe post Thomas Frank reveals big thing that has changed with Richarlison at Tottenham appeared first on Spurs Web.
