Everton midfielder James Garner is facing a new injury concern, different from his previous back problem, as confirmed by manager Sean Dyche. This latest issue has caused Garner to miss the recent match against Ipswich Town and is likely to keep him out of the upcoming game against Fulham at Goodison Park on Saturday. While the exact nature of the injury is still being assessed, Dyche mentioned that it seems to be related to wear and tear.
Fans of the Toffees may have to wait a bit longer to see Garner back in action, as the midfielder’s return timeline is uncertain at this point. However, the team has been fortunate to have Nathan Patterson and Seamus Coleman back from their own injuries, providing depth in defense. Without these options, Dyche would have been forced to rely heavily on Ashley Young, who has been performing well but may need rest.
It is crucial for the medical team to identify the root cause of Garner’s injury quickly so that he can resume playing for Everton soon. Ideally, his recovery will progress well, and he can rejoin the squad before the international break in November.
In addition to Garner’s injury update, Everton is reportedly eyeing new players for the upcoming transfer window in January. Stay tuned for more updates on Everton’s developments by following us on Facebook or joining our WhatsApp Channel for instant news alerts on your phone.
