Tottenham boss Antonio Conte says Brazil forward Richarlison should be available for the World Cup following a scan on his calf injury.
Richarlison suffered the injury in Spurs’ win over Everton on Saturday.
The 25-year-old was substituted in the 52nd minute and later seen on crutches, but Conte said the injury was “not serious”.
“The player is not risking to miss the World Cup, absolutely not,” Conte said on Monday.
“He has an injury but it is not a serious injury. I hope he can play games for us before the World Cup.”
Richarlison added on Twitter: “Guys, thank God it was just a big scare!! Two weeks and I’ll be back! Thank you for the messages and affection.”
Brazil will name their World Cup squad at the start of November. Their first game of the tournament in Qatar is on November 24 against Serbia.
Richarlison, who will miss Wednesday’s trip to Manchester United, has scored twice in 13 matches for Tottenham since his £60m move from Everton in July.
Meanwhile, Wolves have spoken to former Ajax and Borussia Dortmund boss Peter Bosz about their vacant manager’s job.
Chairman Jeff Shi is continuing to assess suitable candidates to replace Bruno Lage, who was sacked on October 2.
Bosz was recently dismissed by French club Lyon but the 58-year-old is still highly regarded across Europe.
Shi missed out on his first choice Julen Lopetegui, who wants to remain in Spain after being sacked by Sevilla.
It is not out of the question current interim bosses Steve Davis and James Collins could remain in charge until the Premier League breaks for the World Cup in the middle of November.
Much, though, may depend on the result of Tuesday’s game at Crystal Palace and, if they are still in charge, Sunday’s encounter with Leicester. Wolves have also spoken to former boss Nuno Espirito Santo, although the Portuguese’s return to Molineux is regarded as unlikely.
