It seems that Everton's midfielder, Dwight McNeil, may not be able to join his team for their upcoming match against West Ham due to a knee injury. The 24-year-old had to be substituted in their last game against Fulham due to this issue and although he managed to play the full 90 minutes in their recent game against Southampton, it seems that he has been closely working with a physio to manage the injury.
Despite joining his teammates in training on Tuesday, it is uncertain whether McNeil will be fit enough to start the game on Saturday. However, there is a glimmer of hope as manager Sean Dyche revealed that there is a chance for midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure to return to the squad after missing the last game against Southampton.
"Doucoure has been recovering well and surprisingly quickly too," Dyche said in a press conference on Thursday. "Initially, we were worried that he would be out for a few weeks but he's made good progress and there is a chance he might be able to join us for the game."
Heading into this match, Everton currently sits at 16th place in the Premier League with nine points from their first 10 games. On the other hand, their opponents West Ham are in 14th place with 11 points and their manager, Julen Lopetegui, is already feeling the pressure as his team has only managed to secure three wins so far in the season.
