£22m Everton player now back training, Sean Dyche has not used him in the PL this year.

The goal for the Toffees is to win for the first time in 2024 and close the gap on Crystal Palace, who are now leading by five points. The Eagles are in disarray right now, with many wondering if Roy Hodgson will be in the dugout on Monday night.

Alex Crook, chief football reporter at talkSPORT, stated, “I think it is a very unsavoury situation if Hodgson even has to front up to the media today and answer questions when everyone in the room knows his time at Palace is coming to an end.”m It must be mentioned that, should he be required to take the bus to Everton on Monday for an extremely important match, the circumstances are quite absurd.
Abdoulaye Doucouré, 31, is expected to make a comeback for Everton after missing several weeks due to a hamstring injury.Ben Godfrey and Seamus Coleman are both eligible for Monday night’s match.

Andre Gomes back on grass for Everton

Dyche revealed to the media prior to the Toffees’ most recent Premier League game that Andre Gomes is back on grass following a nearly month-long absence due to a calve injury. “Andre Gomes and Arnaute Danjuma, both of them, are back on the grass, but since he’s had a few calves lately, it has to be a sensitive one. With that, we need to exercise caution, Dyche said to Sky Sports News.

Gomes, 30, reportedly paid £22 million to join the Toffees in 2019. But the Portuguese midfielder has struggled with injuries and poor play, and he might leave for nothing in the summer transfer window. Gomes last played in the FA Cup, which Everton won in mid-January, against Crystal Palace. But since the Toffees’ 3-0 loss to Wolves at the end of December, the midfield player hasn’t been in any Premier League games.
