Richarlison has responded to Roberto De Zerbi’s decision to leave him out of Tottenham’s Carabao Cup squad for Tuesday night’s clash with Liverpool.A lot has been made about Richarlison’s future in the last few days after his failed transfers during the summer and earlier this month.The forward had threatened to take legal action against Spurs to force a move to Vasco da Gama, but nothing materialised due to FIFA loan regulations, which limit clubs to a maximum of six outgoing loans outside their own federation.Richarlison has since returned to first‑team training with Tottenham and is eligible to feature in the midweek game against Liverpool, as revealed by Spurs Web earlier today.Credit: @thatfootballphotog / InstagramRicharlison responds publicly after Roberto De Zerbi rules out Tottenham involvementHowever, Roberto De Zerbi has since confirmed that despite the Brazilian being eligible to play this midweek, he will not be turning to him.He said: “Richarlison, you already know everything, so nothing changes with the Carabao Cup or Premier League. (So Richarlison will not be involved even though he can play?) No.“I said last press conference. I know what happened in the last 45 days. It is not right if I explained. It is not my behaviour, the relationship. “The problem is between the player and the club. I stay within the club. It is coach and club together. At the start of this season I spoke to him many times to convince him to stay and he did not want to. I cannot go every day to pray for him to stay.”The Brazilian striker has now taken to social media to respond to the Tottenham boss’s comments on his Instagram stories. Quoting Romano’s tweets containing De Zerbi’s comments, Richarlison appeared puzzled, simply responding with “why?”Richarlison on Instagram responding to Roberto De Zerbi’s comments about him not being considered for the Carabao Cup tie against Liverpool pic.twitter.com/DAl0xH3sOi— The Spurs Web (@thespursweb) September 14, 2026Richarlison is unlikely to play football again until JanuaryThis is certainly not the first time Richarlison has taken to social media to voice his frustrations about Spurs’ decisions regarding him. Following the Everton transfer saga, which fell through even after Spurs had agreed a deal with the Toffees that was expected to see Iliman Ndiaye move to north London, the striker went to social media to express his frustration about how the club treated him.The Brazilian will now have to wait until January, when the transfer window opens again, to secure a move away from Spurs, and it is very unlikely he will kick a ball before that time.READ MORE: Roberto De Zerbi reveals joke ‘homework’ he gave Tottenham squad this weekThe post Richarlison responds publicly as De Zerbi rules out Tottenham start vs Liverpool appeared first on Spurs Web.
