Richarlison has publicly expressed his displeasure at Roberto de Zerbi's decision to leave him out of Tottenham 's squad for Tuesday's Carabao Cup tie against Liverpool.

The Brazil striker shared a screenshot of a social media post about his omission and accompanied it with the message "Why?" and a tearful sad-faced emoji.
