Richarlison injury boost

Conte has confirmed that Richarlison's World Cup dream is not over. The Brazilian picked up a calf injury in Tottenham's 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday and he was in tears after the final whistle.

Many thought that the injury would keep the forward out of the tournament, with the World Cup in Qatar just a month away, but Conte has revealed that is not the case. It's unknown how long the 25-year-old will be out for, but the Spurs head coach says he will be available for the greatest show in football.

The report claims that the Premier League have no plans to move regular fixtures from the season abroad as things stand, though the move is seen as one to create competitive matches in the market. It comes amid reports suggesting UEFA could move Champions League ties to be played outside of Europe as a way to increase revenue as money from TV rights sold begins to slow.
