Richarlison scored an equaliser for Tottenham's under-21 side during their EFL Trophy encounter against Cheltenham Town, marking a rare appearance for the Brazilian forward in recent weeks.
The 29-year-old has found himself sidelined at Spurs after failed transfer attempts to both Everton and Vasco da Gama during the summer window. He was notably absent from the club's 25-man Premier League squad registration, reflecting his uncertain status at the club. Tottenham excluded him from their top-flight squad as his exit appeared imminent, with Turkish side Trabzonspor among the clubs linked with a move.
His only competitive outing for Spurs this season came in August when the club suffered a 3-0 defeat to Brentford on the opening weekend of the Premier League campaign.
During the EFL Trophy fixture, Cheltenham's George Miller opened the scoring for the League Two outfit. Richarlison responded with a composed first-time finish after receiving a cross from the right wing to level the match. Tottenham's Miracle Adewole then put the young side ahead, but Miller struck again deep into stoppage time to force the contest to a penalty shootout.
The appearance represented a rare opportunity for Richarlison to feature for the club, coming amid ongoing speculation about his future at Tottenham and the various moves that have been discussed or pursued throughout the transfer window.
