Richarlison absence, Son and Gil's silky link-up - Five things spotted in Tottenham training

Tottenham have been continuing their work with Ange Postecoglou and his coaching staff on the training pitches of Hotspur Way.

Spurs are back in Premier League action on Saturday afternoon with the visit of Crystal Palace and their new boss Oliver Glasner. By the time the 3pm kick-off comes around, Postecoglou and his coaching staff will have had exactly two weeks to work with the players to fix what went wrong on the defeat to Wolves.

Here are five things we noticed from videos and images from some of those Tottenham's training sessions this week.

One player who has been notable by his absence in the videos and photos of the training sessions this week is Richarlison. The Brazilian does appear briefly indoors in the most recent video, walking around the boot-up area, teasing and pointing at the laughing Pape Matar Sarr, before going over and shaking hands with academy youngsters Max Robson and Aaron Maguire who are sitting on a bench waiting to get involved with the first team.

However, during the actual training footage, Richarlison cannot be seen in the foreground or background of any images or video footage of the entire group, particular in a large-sided training game. Then when the attacking players are grouped together for shooting drills and also shown in an image speaking to assistant head coach Chris Davies, the Brazil international is nowhere to be seen.

Whether the footage just came on a day when Richarlison was carrying a knock that needed resting and he was simply doing individual work or running in recent days, or whether it's something a little more than that, we'll find out at Postecoglou's press conference on Friday afternoon.
