Dr. Rajpal Brar believes that Everton forward Jack Harrison may not be fit to start against Luton Town on September 30 despite his comeback to the under-21 team and his cup debut.
The injury specialist feels that the English winger’s inclusion in the starting lineup for a Premier League game is a little early despite the fact that he started for the team’s reserves against Norwich last Friday.
The 26-year-old joined on loan from Leeds United in the summer but has yet to play in a Toffees league match.
Doctor of physical treatment and sports scientist Brar, who spoke exclusively with Goodison News about his plight, stated:
Based on his timing, it sounded like a moderately severe injury, and the hip region can be complicated.
“The start for U21s and in the middle of the week is unquestionably encouraging and shows his recovery from injury and return to play are advancing.
“There’s a chance he could be in the matchday squad as it seems like he’s only got a slim chance of starting vs. Luton, but it all depends on how his body responds. A start is not expected as it was a long layoff,” the statement continued.
It seems sense to ease Harrison back into the starting eleven considering he has been injured for a while.
Compared to the Premier League, starting for the under-21s is a completely different game.
The 26-year-old will be eager to return to the field of play, but it’s crucial that they proceed with caution.
After being rushed back from an injury, players frequently have setbacks that have severe long-term effects.
