Richarlison reacts to being left out of Tottenham's Carabao Cup match against Liverpool

Richarlison publicly expressed his frustration after Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto de Zerbi omitted him from the squad for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup clash with Liverpool. The Brazilian striker, who has been a regular in the club’s league and European campaigns, said he was disappointed by the decision and that he had been ready to contribute to the team’s cup run.

De Zerbi’s squad selection came amid a busy schedule for Spurs, who are juggling Premier League fixtures, the Champions League and the domestic cup. The decision to leave Richarlison out was not explained by the manager, but the player’s comments were shared on social media, drawing attention to the tactical choices ahead of a high‑profile match that could shape the club’s progress in the tournament.

The omission will be a point of discussion for Spurs supporters and analysts as the club prepares for a challenging game against Liverpool, a side that has proven formidable in recent cup encounters. The outcome of the match will likely influence the squad’s composition in the coming weeks.
