Impact Doucoure has been absolutely influential for Everton this season, racking up six goals across 17 starts from his midfield role, so his absence will be a huge one against the Citizens. Dyche's words made it sound as if the Wolverhampton match on Dec. 30 was also too close for Doucoure's return, and it wouldn't be shocking if he has to wait until the Aston Villa fixture on Jan. 14 to return to action.
