The Brazilian was replaced by Yves Bissouma in the 52nd minute after picking up a calf injury.

And the emotion was all too much for him as he spoke in Portuguese on his way out of the ground.

With just under six weeks to go until Brazil kick off their World Cup campaign, his tournament now looks to be in doubt.

Richarlison went down injured in the Everton box just after half-time.

He massaged his calf with a pained expression on his face as the Spurs medics rushed on to tend to him.

The decision was quickly made that the 25-year-old could not continue against his former club.

Richarlison bit on his shirt in frustration and looked emotional after being forced off.

Spurs gaffer Antonio Conte looked worried as Richarlison hobbled off, and the Italian confirmed the forward will have a scan on Sunday.

Conte said on the extent of the problem: “We don’t know, we hope it is not so serious he felt a problem in his calf.

“He will have an MRI to understand it tomorrow, we hope it is not serious.”

Brazil kick off their World Cup campaign with a Group G clash against Serbia on November 24th.

Richarlison was likely to be in the squad having featured in the two friendlies against Ghana and Tunisia last month.

Manager Tite will now be sweating over the fitness of the £60million forward.

Richarlison had started the home clash against Everton with Dejan Kulusevski sidelined.

The Swedish winger has now missed the last five games with a hamstring injury.

Harry Kane gave Spurs the lead from the spot after being tripped by England team-mate Jordan Pickford.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg then sealed the points with a deflected effort four minutes time.
