Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Richarlison will be out for ‘three to four weeks’ with a knee injury.
Richarlison played in most of the 2-1 defeat by Wolves in their last game on February 17 but has not been spotted in training footage this week.
Spurs play Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Fulham over the next three weeks and also host Luton on March 30.
Postecoglou said: ‘Richarlison is out for three to four weeks. He picked up a bit of a knee injury in the last game.
‘With Richy, it’s disappointing, he’s been a key contributer, how our season has gone, get one back and lose one.’

Richarlison has been in stunning form for Spurs since mid-December, scoring nine goals in his last 10 Premier League games.
He isn’t the only one who has been on the treatment table, with Ryan Sessegnon, Destiny Udogie, and Pedro Porro also needing attention.
Postecoglou added: ‘Ryan [Sessegnon] had a bit of a setback after the last game, well a big one.
‘Sess is a tough one, it’s through no fault of his own, worked hard to come back. It’s always challenging when happens as series of events and he hasn’t had any reward for all his hard work of rehab in terms of getting out there to play.
‘He will get the support he needs, he’s had surgery, he’s a positive guy and he’s been through this before so hopefully that helps.
Destiny Udogie sticks a chance of playing against Crystal Palace, Postecoglou revealed
‘Destiny [Udogie] has a chance. He’s trained so we’ll see how he pulls up. Pedro is probably still another week away.’
Spurs go into their game against Crystal Palace on Saturday five points behind fourth-placed Villa and will be desperate to make up ground before meeting Unai Emery’s outfit on March 10.
