Lewis Dobbin has an ankle injury that will keep him out of action for a while, but surgery is not necessary.Just before the international break, the young athlete suffered ligament damage in a freak accident during training at Finch Farm.
At first, there was concern that he would need surgery, but more evaluation showed the problem was not that significant.
The 21-year-old will miss games while recovering, but Sean Dyche has stated that efforts are still being made to determine when he will return.
In the first week of the team’s prolonged vacation after the loss at Manchester United, Dobbin was included in the first team squad that flew to southern Portugal with Everton.
The forward, who is having a breakout year after beating Chelsea at home in the league, scored his first goal as a senior for the Blues, then took an ankle knock on a return to training in the UK.
Before Everton’s trip to Bournemouth to try to snap an 11-game Premier League losing streak, Dyche stated: It is better news than we imagined.
He was really unfortunate to have fallen and landed on someone’s foot, which tilted his ankle. The good news is that, contrary to our first fears, it doesn’t require surgery. The only thing left to worry about is when he will return.
While Arnaut Danjuma is making progress, he will not be accessible due to his own ankle issue, Idrissa Gueye and Seamus Coleman are fit to travel to the south coast.
Prior to this weekend’s meeting at Old Trafford against Manchester United, Everton may have suffered an injury setback.
On Saturday lunchtime, United plays Everton at Old Trafford in the Premier League.Erik ten Hag’s team is keen to get back to winning ways after dropping their last two Premier League games against Fulham and Manchester City.
Andre Gomes, a midfielder, sustained an injury earlier in the week, which prevented him from participating in training on Thursday.
Before a decision is reached regarding Gomes’ availability to play against United on Saturday, the player will have his calf examined at the Everton training facility on Friday.
Gomes will experience yet another setback if he is unable to participate. Although he has demonstrated that he can benefit Sean Dyche’s starting squad, he has been plagued by injuries since the previous summer.
