Everton forward who has helped Everton above Relegation Zone is in training after missing seven matches as Toffees set for injury boost

Sean Dyche has delivered a positive update on Everton’s injury situation ahead of their Premier League clash against AFC Bournemouth on Saturday at 15:00 GMT. The Toffees, who are aiming to secure their first league win in 12 matches, will be bolstered by the return of key players from injury.

Idrissa Gana Gueye is set to make a comeback after missing Everton’s last two games due to a groin injury. The midfielder, who has been participating in training during the team’s camp in Portugal, also represented Senegal during the international break. Dyche confirmed Gueye’s availability, noting that despite the extensive travel and missing today’s training session, he remains fit for the upcoming match. “Idrissa played around 70 minutes. A lot of travelling involved so he hasn’t trained today but he’s fit,” Dyche stated.

In addition to Gueye’s return, Everton will also see Arnaut Danjuma rejoining the squad. The forward, on loan from Villarreal, has been sidelined for the past seven games due to ankle ligament damage. Danjuma has resumed team training, marking a significant step towards regaining match fitness. However, Dyche emphasized that Danjuma will require some time to fully recover. “Arnie is only just back in grass with us. He’s been on the grass with us with the medical and sports science side getting fit but literally had his first training session today as a group so he’ll need to make a bit of time to make sure he’s right,” Dyche added.

Unfortunately, Dele Alli remains sidelined as he continues to recover from a groin injury and will not be available for the match against Bournemouth.

As Everton prepares for their return to Premier League action, the team’s injury updates come as a welcome boost in their quest for a much-needed victory.
