Richarlison left out of Tottenham 25-man Premier League squad as Forest visit looms

Richarlison omitted from Tottenham Premier League squad

Tottenham Hotspur have not registered Richarlison in their 25-man Premier League squad. The decision lands on a packed Saturday that includes Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham later in the English slate.

Roberto De Zerbi addressed the omission directly. The Tottenham head coach confirmed the Brazil forward did not accept an Everton proposal before the window closed and said he did not know whether a late offer from Turkey existed. “For me nothing changes,” De Zerbi said, according to reporting amplified by Fabrizio Romano and Sky Sports News.

Sky Sports News also carried studio discussion on Richarlison’s next steps after the registration cut. The practical effect is immediate: Tottenham will go into the Forest fixture without a senior striker who featured heavily in previous campaigns.

Premier League clubs submitted 25-man lists after the summer window. Under-21 players can still appear outside that cap, but Richarlison is a senior professional and is therefore unavailable for league matches until January unless the rules on replacements for long-term injury are later engaged. De Zerbi framed the choice as settled rather than temporary.

Tottenham are among several London and promoted sides in action across Saturday afternoon and evening. The squad list is an official registration fact that changes who can legally play in Forest vs Tottenham and in every remaining Premier League fixture before the next window.

De Zerbi also said the club had not wanted to lose a large group of players in the market. Combined with the Richarlison decision, the message from the training ground is that the group now registered is the group available. Check official club channels and licensed listings for where to watch.

The omission will follow Spurs through the international-break run-in and into the next domestic block. For now, the news is simple: Richarlison is not on the 25-man list, De Zerbi has confirmed the stance, and Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham remains one of the central Premier League appointments on Saturday’s board.
