PREMIER - Benitez unhappy with Richarlison injury

Published on: 19 September 2021

Everton manager Rafa Benitez believes Richarlison's forced exit from the defeat at Aston Villa has caused him a lot of anguish.

With a knee injury, the Brazil international missed his team's 3-0 loss to Aston Villa on Saturday evening. He is anticipated to be out until after the international break.

Benitez feels that there isn't much the team can do about the situation right now, but he does acknowledge that referees need to be more cautious in the future.

The manager said:

"I think that the only thing we can do is what we did, to say we're not happy with that, that's it.

"I think that they know. Maybe not on the day of the game, but afterwards it was obvious for everyone.

"It's something that we have to be very careful about, the kind of physical contact we allow this year.

"It's clear for everyone and hopefully we will not see more players injured for these kind of things."
