Amanda has been a supportive partner to Richarlison during his injury troubles in North London.

Last November she flew over to see him after he underwent groin surgery.

He is still struggling with injury issues and has only featured in seven matches this season.

The forward has not played since he withdrew from action against Aston Villa in November.
