CONFIRMED;Sean Dyche confirms the fresh injury blow of two players

Sean Dyche has a fresh injury to contend with as Jarrod Braithwaite could now miss the Newcastle clash, and the Everton boss has now confirmed another setback for a separate player.

Just as things were looking positive for Everton an injury comes along.

Jarrad Branthwaite could potentially miss the Newcastle clash after picking up a quad injury in training.

As much as Sean Dyche‘s game-management has been terrible at times, he’s not been dealt the best of hands when it comes to Branthwaite.

With such a key player missing and a tough challenge in the form of Newcastle, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if he decides to turn to Michael Keane at the back.

However, it’s not just his team selection he needs to think about as there’s another injury issue.

Dele Alli suffers fresh injury at Everton

Dele Alli has been working tirelessly to get back fit.

However, in typical Dele Alli fashion, the midfielder has now suffered a setback in his recovery.

According to Sean Dyche (as per Daily Mirror), it’s a slight muscle strain, which isn’t too heavy.

“It’s a slight muscle strain, nothing too heavy, but because it’s been so long it is about getting him back into that fully fit zone.”

Dele Alli’s current situation at Everton

Alan Myers provided an update on Dele Alli’s situation at Everton recently.

He stated that it’s just a case of the midfielder getting fit now, with a new contract at Everton on the cards.

The Englishman hasn’t appeared for the Toffees since 2022 and has battled a number of personal issues off the field, which has made things difficult.

Sean Dyche is clearly seeing something in him on the training field as he continues to build up his fitness at Finch Farm.

However, we have to hope that they don’t make the same mistake of putting him on a big wage like before.
