Everton boss Sean Dyche has given an injury update on his squad ahead of the Premier League clash against Burnley at Turf Moor
Sean Dyche, manager of Everton, has offered an injury report ahead of his team’s trip to Burnley.
The Blues will travel to Turf Moor on Saturday evening with the goal of winning their fourth Premier League game in a row. The triumphs over Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, and Chelsea have all come with a clean sheet, and Dyche will be eager to continue that run.
Everton have recovered admirably since being deducted ten points and are now four points clear of the relegation zone. However, Dyche has confirmed that he will be without several players against the Clarets, including Ashley Young and Seamus Coleman, as well as Dele and Andre Gomes, who is instead expected to play for the under-21s against West Brom in Southport on Friday night.
Sean Dyche provides an injury update as Everton are missing six players for their match against Burnley.
“Young and Seamus aren’t going to cut it for this one.” “We’re hoping for a quick recovery from those two,” Everton manager David Moyes said during a press conference on Thursday.
“Dele is still on the grass with us, going through the motions of getting back involved.” Andre [Gomes] has been working with us for a few weeks; he requires 90 minutes, which we hope he will get tomorrow [with the U21s].”
Idrissa Gueye and Jarrad Branthwaite are both suspended for the encounter in Lancashire after receiving their fifth yellow card of the season against Chelsea. However, Dyche confirmed that Michael Keane, who had been an injury worry, is in contention to replace Branthwaite, and that both Vitalii Mykolenko and Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be healthy to face Burnley.
“[Keane] has trained today so as long as there’s no reaction, he’ll be back in the thinking,” Dyche continued. “[Mykolenko’s] had a bit of a niggle but I think he’ll be OK. Dom’s fine.”
