The most recent Everton injury news comes before the Toffees’ trip to Burnley, where Sean Dyche will be without Ashley Young and four other players in addition to Jarrad Branthwaite, who is suspended.
Before Dyche’s first visit to Burnley since his dismissal, referee Michael Oliver compounded his troubles by booking Everton defender Branthwaite with a yellow card against Chelsea. The 21-year-old now has five for the Premier League season and will miss one game due to his actions.
Against Burnley, Everton will be hoping that their impressive run of play is not derailed by the absence of six key players. This month, following victories over Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, and Chelsea, no premier league team can match their record. Their latest four-game winning streak ended in December 2020.
Everton’s injury list before their match against Burnley
Before Everton travels to Burnley, Dyche has acknowledged that the team’s injury difficulties are a little bit more manageable, with three players probably available. However, the medical team at Finch Farm continues to be severely depressed. So, here is Everton’s injury report prior to their match at Burnley on Saturday.
Michael Keane’s recent injury
After missing their victory against Chelsea at home due to injury, Everton is hoping to have Michael Keane fit against Burnley. The 30-year-old was not able to recover from an ankle knock, so he missed the 2-0 victory. However, he started back up at Turf Moor on Thursday and began full training.
During his press conference on Thursday, Dyche stated, “Keano has trained today.” Hence, he will return to his previous thoughts as long as there is no response.
Return date anticipated: December 16; Burnley
Vitaliy Mykolenko’s recent injury
In addition, Dyche stated at his press conference prior to Everton’s trip to Burnley that the team believes Vitaliy Mykolenko has escaped injury. On Sunday, the 24-year-old experienced a “niggle” while playing Chelsea. However, there are no indications from the left-back that the issue will lead to any absences.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s most recent injury
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will also be available for Everton against Burnley, following Dyche’s comment that “Dom’s alright” in his pregame press conference. During the 2-0 victory over Chelsea, the 26-year-old was substituted after 67 minutes. On Saturday, though, he can try to score his first league goal in six games.
Return date anticipated: December 16; Burnley
Ashley Young’s most recent injury
Ashley Young, though, is one player who will be sidelined for Everton’s trip to Burnley due to injury. According to Dyche, the 38-year-old is still suffering from the knock he sustained against Chelsea. The wingback’s injury will be the first one to keep him out of a league game this season.
Tottenham Hotspur is anticipated to return on December 23.
Seamus Coleman’s most recent injury
Sean Coleman won’t be available, Dyche announced, in addition to confirming Young’s absence against Burnley. After recovering from a knee injury, the 35-year-old played in the Toffees’ victory over Newcastle United. However, 67 minutes into his first senior game since May, he had to be substituted.
During the press conference held prior to Everton’s match against Burnley, Dyche acknowledged that “Youngy and Seamus won’t be right for this one.” “We’re praying that both of them recover quickly.”
Tottenham Hotspur is anticipated to return on December 23.

In order to speed up Andre Gomes’ healing from a calf injury, the Toffees want to give him a match against Everton’s academy this Friday night. With their Under-21 team, Dyche wants to see the midfield player play for a complete ninety minutes. West Bromwich Albion’s will host the Blues’ development team.
“Andre has been working out with us for the past few weeks,” Dyche mentioned in his press conference. “We’re hoping he gets the 90 minutes he needs tomorrow.”
Wolves are anticipated back on December 30.
Recent injury to Dele Alli
As he recovers from a groin injury, Dyche has confirmed that Dele Alli is still working out with the Everton first team at Finch Farm. However, the midfielder is still a ways off from being ready for action. The Toffees are also careful not to exacerbate Dele’s issue by hurrying his recovery.
“Dele is still on the field with us,” Dyche stated on Thursday at his press conference before the game. “However, he is merely reiterating the steps to re-engage.”
Crystal Palace is anticipated to return on January 4.
Jarrad Branthwaite and Idrissa Gueye have been suspended.

Idrissa Gana Gueye and Jarrad Branthwaite will both be absent for Everton against Burnley due to their individual suspensions. After Everton defeated Chelsea 2-0 at home, referee Michael Oliver gave both players a yellow card. As a result, they will miss the trip to Turf Moor.
Gueye and Branthwaite were both given yellow cards in a Premier League match for the sixth time this season. Throughout the Blues’ previous five top-flight games against Brighton & Hove Albion, Manchester United, and Newcastle United, Gueye also deserved to be warned.
