Fit for Forest match Allan (undisclosed) is fit and in the squad for Saturday's match against Nottingham Forest, according to manager Frank Lampard. "Allan is fit [he] is in the squad. He's back [but]...

Impact Allan had a minor knock last week, but he's back and available Saturday. Unfortunately, he's yet to appear through two matches and new signing Amadou Onana already looks to have won the job in central midfield, leaving Allan on the outside looking in for a role this season despite starting 25 matches last campaign.

Dealing with knock Allan sat out Saturday's game versus Aston Villa due to a minor knock, Everton announced.

Impact Allan will look to shake it off ahead of next Saturday's game versus Nottingham Forest. Alex Iwobi and Abdoulaye Doucoure got the start in this one, but the latter limped off in the first half and was replaced by the returning Tom Davies.

Ready for season Allan is working up his fitness but is ready for Saturday's opener against Chelsea, according to manager Frank Lampard.

Impact Allan has a chance to start Saturday's opener, as Everton don't have a ton of options in their midfield with Tom Davies and Andre Gomes being out. His role in the side this season is unclear after failing to start the final six matches last campaign despite being mostly healthy.

AUGUST 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Finishes year on bench Allan made one appearance in the club's last five contests to close out the 2021-22 campaign.

Impact After starting the year as a mainstay in the starting XI, featuring in each of the club's first 15 contests, Allan found himself as a reserve option following the January additions of Donny van de Beek and Dele Alli. As long as Fabian Delph and Abdoulaye Doucoure are fully fit, Allan will be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI with any consistency next year, limiting him to low-end fantasy value.

Busy defensively Allan made four interceptions and six clearances during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Allan was busy throughout Sunday's match, but none of that volume did much to give him a strong fantasy day. The midfielder lines up defensively in one of the worst five teams in the Premier League, essentially eliminating any fantasy value. Allan will be tested against Chelsea next time out, another difficult match.

Done with suspension Allan served his three-match suspension and is eligible for Saturday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Allan should move back into the starting XI Saturday, assuming Frank Lampard doesn't want to continue with the same XI he's been using. With Allan back, it'd likely move Mason Holgate to the back line or back to the bench. No matter, Everton have been hard to trust in fantasy and Allan's return doesn't change that.

APRIL 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Three-match ban upheld Allan's appeal of his three-match ban for dangerous conduct has been upheld Friday.

Impact Allan will now miss the next three outings, including Sunday's FA Cup clash with Crystal Palace and will be eligible to return April 9 versus Manchester United. With Allan unavailable, Donny van de Beek (illness) could step into the starting XI for the next EPL matchup, assuming he is deemed fully fit.

MARCH 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent off Thursday Allan was sent off in the second half of Thursday's 1-0 win over Newcastle.

Impact Allan was shown a straight red card in the 83rd minute forcing Everton to end the match with ten men. The midfielder will miss Sunday's trip to Watford through suspension.

MARCH 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Busy in loss Allan made four tackles and one interception during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Allan had plenty to do behind the ball, as expected, against a dominant Manchester City side. Allan did well throughout the match and actually had some control over the midfield. While he isn't a top play, a clash with Tottenham should offer even more defensive volume for the defensive midfielder.

FEBRUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

In contention Saturday Allan (illness) will be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI against Aston Villa on Saturday.

Impact Considering Allan has started all 16 of his appearances for the club this year, he should be a lock for the starting XI if deemed fit enough. In those appearances, Allan registered two assists, 45 tackles and seven crosses (two accurate). Despite being a mainstay in the Everton midfield, Allan won't offer more than mid-range fantasy value given his limited offensive upside.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Misses Norwich loss Allan wasn't in the squad for Saturday's loss to Norwich City because of illness.

Impact Allan was a late absence Saturday and it didn't help Everton as they suffered a poor loss resulting in the sacking of Rafa Benitez. As long as this isn't COVID-19 related, Allan should be back in the XI for Saturday's match against Aston Villa, though nothing is guaranteed without an update.

JANUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Assists in loss to Brighton Allan tallied one assist, one shot (on target) and one dribble in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Brighton.

Impact Allan finally dished his first assist and major offensive contribution since August. That was pretty much what salvaged his day however after he was very quiet the rest of the way. That was his first appearance in nearly a month and he'll look to improve his production moving forward though even at his best he usually produces only tackles and interceptions.

JANUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Match against Burnley postponed Allan and Everton will not play Sunday against Burnley due to a growing number of positive COVID-19 cases.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Everton after Rafa Benitez said he only had nine field players Thursday. Unfortunately, this also puts into doubt Everton's fixture against Newcastle a few days later. As for the healthy players, this allows them to get back to fitness without missing matches, which means Allan.

DECEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes bench against Chelsea Allan (thigh) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Chelsea.

Impact Allan could make an appearance late Thursday but only if Everton are still contending for a point. It looks like they're set to park the bus against Chelsea and there was no point in starting Allan if that's the case.

DECEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

In contention Thursday Allan (thigh) is expected to be available against Chelsea on Thursday after telling manager Rafa Benitez he was "ready to help the team".

Impact While Allan has started all 15 of his matches for the club this season, it's possible he is held in reserve given he is just returning from injury and the busy December schedule. Even if the midfielder does feature in the starting XI versus Chelsea, he's unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value given his limited offensive upside.

DECEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still in doubt Thursday Allan (thigh) is questionable against Chelsea on Thursday with manager Rafa Benitez telling reporters, "Allan has a little problem with his adductor. He was not really bad but he w...

Impact Benitez didn't really offer much in the way of an update as to Allan's availability versus Chelsea, so fantasy players will likely have to wait for lineups to be released. If the midfielder is deemed fit, he should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI while Fabian Delph and Andre Gomes will be on standby if Allan can't play.

DECEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

In doubt Sunday Allan is questionable for Sunday's clash with Crystal Palace after being limited in training. Manager Rafa Benitez told reporters, the midfielder took "half of the training session...

Impact Allan has started all 15 matches for the club this season in which he recorded one assist, three shots (one on target) and 44 tackles. If the defensive midfielder is unavailable versus Palace, it would likely see Andre Gomes back in the starting XI, though Fabian Delph could also be an option.

DECEMBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Allan is fit and in the starting Xi for Sunday's match with Brentford.

Impact Allan has recovered from a muscle injury picked up in the previous match to start for Everton on Sunday. The midfielder takes up a role in the center of the pitch for the Toffees Premier League clash with Brentford.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with minor muscle injury Allan is dealing with a minor muscle injury and is a late test for Sunday's trip to Brentford, reports The Echo. According to Rafa Benitez, "He was having some treatment today but...

Impact Allan reportedly picked up the issue last match, but Benitez didn't mention it in his initial press conference. It's yet another injury Everton have to deal with and while Abdoulaye Doucoure could start again Sunday, they'd likely be starting two defensive midfielders who aren't 100 percent with Fabian Delph being the other option.

NOVEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

First assist of year Allan had an assist while crossing once accurately, creating three chances and making five tackles (winning four) during Saturday's 2-0 win over Brighton.

Impact Allan set up Demarai Gray in the 41st minute assisting the game's opening goal. The assist was the first of the season for the midfielder while leading Everton in both chances created and tackles in the win.

AUGUST 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Holds down midfield to close season Allan started the final eight matches of the season, going a full 90 in all of them.

Impact Allan failed to make the score-sheet in 24 appearances (23 starts), but he was as important as anyone else, running the Everton midfield. He tended to get more forward while at Napoli, but that doesn't look to be the case for Everton where he managed seven shots and 17 chances created in his first season.
