Prior to playing Aston Villa, Everton may have received a boost from an injury.
a potential lift following the outstanding victory at Brentford.
Everton currently has some injury issues, but an important update from an injury expert indicates that they might get a vital player back for the trip to Aston Villa in the EFL Cup.
Who is currently hurt for Everton?
On Saturday night, the Blues defeated Brentford 3-1, recording their best performance of the season thus far. Brentford is a team that may be challenging to play against on occasion. The visitors won their opening game of the Premier League season thanks to goals from Abdoulaye Doucoure, James Tarkowski, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
The challenge now is for Sean Dyche’s team to build on that victory in west London and maintain their upward trend. They must avoid resting on their laurels and continue to edge away from the bottom of the table as the months go by, avoiding a third straight scrap at the bottom of the standings.
In order for that to occur, Everton will need to have excellent luck with injuries, ensuring that important players remain available for extended periods as opposed to having to make substitutions and use bench players. They now have some fitness issues, with Jack Harrison, Seamus Coleman, and Dele Alli among those who are out, but there has been a positive development.
Which Everton player might play Aston Villa tomorrow?
Dr. Rajpal Brar of Goodison News reported that due to Harrison’s continued improvement in his recovery from a hip injury, he might be able to make his debut this week against Villa.
“According to what I’ve heard about Harrison, he’s back on the grass, his recovery is progressing, and he’s working out with the first squad.
He did have a complicated hip injury, which may have contributed to the delay in his timetable before his final recovery. He recently played for the under-21s, therefore I believe he will now be immediately eligible for the senior team.
Harrison, a strong-looking loan recruit from Leeds United during the summer transfer window, has shown himself over a sustained period for the Whites, so this is fantastic news for Everton. Because of his impressive performance in the Premier League—21 goals and 16 assists—having him available will suddenly provide the Blues additional depth in the attacking third.
It is unclear if the 26-year-old will start when Villa travel to Goodison Park in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night, but given that it might be thought of as a lesser tournament than the league, it might make more sense to give him lots of playing time.
Harrison hasn’t played for the first team in a while; his most recent game was for Leeds last season. As a result, it’s crucial that he be treated carefully, and he shouldn’t play unless Dyche is certain that he’s totally healthy. If not, it might be better to use him as a substitute when Everton hosts Luton Town in a league game the following Saturday, ideally while the hosts are ahead.
