De Zerbi addressed questions surrounding Richarlison's status ahead of the Merseyside clash, indicating there has been no change in the player's situation. The 27-year-old will remain sidelined for the cup competition as Tottenham continues to seek consistency in their attacking play.
The confirmation comes as Spurs have faced difficulties converting chances in recent matches, with the team's goal-scoring record drawing scrutiny from observers. Despite these challenges, De Zerbi maintained his backing for the existing attacking contingent available to him.
The manager's public support for his offensive options suggests Tottenham will proceed with their current attacking setup against Liverpool without the Brazilian. The League Cup encounter represents an opportunity for the club to demonstrate their attacking prowess without Richarlison and move forward in the competition.
