Iliman Ndiaye Injury Update: Everton Star Faces Lengthy Spell on the Sidelines

Everton’s recent resurgence under David Moyes has been dealt a significant blow with the injury to star forward Iliman Ndiaye. The Senegal international limped off in the first half of the Merseyside derby against Liverpool, and initial assessments suggest that he will be out for at least a few weeks.

Ndiaye’s absence is a significant loss for Everton, who have relied heavily on his goal-scoring prowess this season. The 23-year-old has netted eight goals in 26 appearances since joining the Toffees from Marseille last summer.

Moyes confirmed the extent of Ndiaye’s injury in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Crystal Palace game, stating, “He’s got a medial ligament injury. It’s not looking great. Not sure how long it’ll be — it will certainly be a few weeks.”

While Moyes’ assessment provides some clarity on Ndiaye’s situation, the exact timeframe for his return remains uncertain. Football injury analysis account @physiocout on X has provided some insight into the potential recovery times for Ndiaye.

According to @physiocout, if Ndiaye has sustained a grade-two tear, he could be out for as little as three weeks. However, if the injury is determined to be a grade-three tear, Ndiaye could face a lengthy spell on the sidelines, potentially up to 10 weeks.

The account posted, “Iliman Ndiaye will be out for a few weeks after suffering an MCL injury. ‘Ili’s got a medial ligament injury. It’s not looking great at the moment,’ said Moyes. “Scans will determine the length of the injury. Recovery Times: Grade 2: 3-6 weeks. Grade 3: 6-10 weeks We’re unsure whether it’s a moderate or high-grade MCL strain though.”

As Everton awaits further updates on Ndiaye’s condition, the club will be hoping that he can make a swift recovery and return to the pitch soon. In the meantime, Moyes will need to reassess his attacking options and find a suitable replacement for the injured forward.

The Toffees’ next fixture is against Manchester United on Saturday, and while Ndiaye will undoubtedly be missed, Everton will be boosted by the return of Abdoulaye Doucoure, who served a one-match suspension against Crystal Palace.

With a lengthy injury list that includes the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Armando Broja, and Dwight McNeil, Everton’s squad will be tested in the coming weeks. However, with Moyes at the helm, the Toffees will be looking to build on their recent momentum and push on in the Premier League.
