Idrissa Gueye - Not likely to face Man City Gueye (undisclosed) is not likely to face Manchester City on Wednesday and might be forced to spend time on the sidelines after picking up an injury against Tottenham on Saturday,...

Impact Everton have yet to disclose the kind of injury Gueye is dealing with, but it seems he's going to miss a few games in a best-case scenario. With a Dec. 30 trip to Wolverhampton also being too soon for his potential return, it wouldn't be shocking if Gueye is forced to sit until mid-January at the earliest. Andre Gomes is a candidate to take his place in midfield.

Abdoulaye Doucoure - Won't face Man City Doucoure (hamstring) won't play against Manchester City on Wednesday, manager Sean Dyche told media in his pre-match press conference Tuesday. "No, I don't think for City. I think...

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.

Idrissa Gueye - Could be set for lengthy absence Gueye (undisclosed) could be set for a lengthy absence as manager Sean Dyche has quoted the situation as "doesn't look great" following his injury against Spurs.

Impact While it hasn't been revealed exactly what Gueye is dealing with, it doesn't seem likely he'll be able to return quickly. Andre Gomes replaced Gueye on Saturday and could be a candidate for a start after scoring in the match.

Impact Garner filled up the stat sheet Saturday, finishing the match with three shots, three chances created, five crosses and four corners. He played well defensively too, winning two tackles and intercepting two passes in his full 90 minutes of action. While he has just two goal contributions on the season, his consistent production in terms of crossing and defense makes him a solid option in some formats.

Arnaut Danjuma - Nearly nets equalizer versus Spurs Arnaut Danjuma recorded four shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Danjuma made his first appearance since Nov. 26 Saturday as he replaced Jack Harrison in the 66th minute to face the club he played on loan at last season. Danjuma nearly marked the occasion with an equalizing goal in the 96th minute, but his shot hit the top post and then Guglielmo Vicario's thigh, coming inches away from counting as a goal. Danjuma had a productive match regardless, recording four shots (two on target) in just 24 minutes of action.

Impact Gomes made his first appearance of the season Saturday after dealing with a lengthy calf injury. He replaced Idrissa Gueye (undisclosed) in the 24th minute and marked his season debut with a goal in the 82nd minute, an impressive unassisted strike following a corner kick. It was one of two shots he took in the match to go along with two chances created, one inaccurate cross and a yellow card.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Pickford - Concedes twice in loss Pickford recorded four saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Pickford conceded two goals in Saturday's loss, both coming before the 20 minute mark in the match. It broke his four-match streak of keeping a clean sheet, however this was a tougher matchup than any of those four matches. Next up he faces an even more difficult matchup Wednesday versus Manchester City, a side which has scored a league-leading 40 goals in 17 matches this season.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Seamus Coleman - Remains out Saturday Coleman (groin) is not in the squad for Saturday's trip to Tottenham.

Ashley Young - Not expected to play against Spurs Young (undisclosed) is not expected to play in Saturday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Youngy is making process but I don't think he will make this on...

Impact Young looks to be missing a second match in a row Saturday, having yet to fully recover from an undisclosed injury he picked up in a contest against Chelsea. The midfielder will hope to be ready for the club's match against Manchester City on Wednesday, as he has been a regular starter this season, only missing out on two games due to his injuries. While he is out, expect Nathan Patterson to continue in the starting role at right-back.

DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Abdoulaye Doucoure - Won't return Saturday Doucoure (hamstring) will not be available for Saturday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Youngy is making process but I don't think he will make this on...

Impact Doucoure will be spending his first match of the season on the sidelines on Saturday, being labeled as out for their club against Tottenham due to a hamstring injury. Manager Sean Dyche did confirm that the player was making good work on his progress and will hope for a quick recovery, as the midfielder has started in every match this season, scoring six goals this campaign. He will hopefully return before the end of the year, but if not, he should return after the winter break for the club's match against Aston Villa on Jan. 14.

Seamus Coleman - Will be game time decision Saturday Coleman (groin) may be an option for Saturday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Touch and go with Seamus because of the involvement side of things where...

Impact Coleman will be a late addition if available on Saturday, as he still needs a couple more days of training before they truly know where the player is in his recovery. The defender will hope to return for the Tottenham match, only being available once all of this campaign. If he is given the nod into the team sheet Saturday, most likely expect him to return to the bench, as he probably won't start with his fitness not being confirmed at the moment.

DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Vitaliy Mykolenko - Possibility for Tottenham match Mykolenko (undisclosed) may be an option for Saturday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Mykolenko is back in the thinking."

Impact Mykolenko seems to be ready for a return after missing the club's last match with an undisclosed injury, as manager Sean Dyche stated, "Mykolenko is back in the thinking." The club will hope for a return on Saturday, with the left-back starting every match since the third contest of the season up until his injury. If he does make the team sheet against Tottenham, expect him to gain back his starting role, which will most likely send Dwight Mcneil back to the left-midfielder role.

Abdoulaye Doucoure - Unlikely for Spurs trip Doucoure (hamstring) is not expected to return for Saturday's trip to Tottenham, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Probably not at the weekend but going forwards, we're hopeful it...

Impact Doucoure was forced off at the break in the match against Burnley and it looks like the issue will cost him a couple games, at a minimum. Dyche has a few options to use in his place against Tottenham, though it was James Garner who played in a more attacking role in Tuesday's match against Fulham. Lewis Dobbin or Arnaut Danjuma also figure to come into the thinking somehow.

Arnaut Danjuma - Appears off the bench Danjuma came off the bench during the second half of Tuesday's 1-1 (7-6p) loss to Fulham in the EFL Cup.

Impact Danjuma was brought on for the final 18 minutes and failed to make the most of the chance in the starting XI. The forward was only good for two shots (one on goal) and little threat in the attack. Danjuma has fallen out of favor of late and isn't a major piece of the starting XI in the Premier League

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jack Harrison - Disappoints in Cup Harrison played 72 minutes during Tuesday's 1-1 (7-6p) loss to Fulham in the EFL Cup.

Impact Harrison got the start on the right wing and had a poor match, he struggled to drive play or create any consistent chances. The midfielder is still a strong creative option, but he hasn't been in the best form of late, with no goal contributions in the last six matches. Despite that he has gone the full 90 more often than not and seems to still be one of the first names on the team sheet.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Vitaliy Mykolenko - Not going Tuesday Mykolenko (undisclosed) isn't available for Tuesday's match against Fulham.

Impact Mykolenko was touch-and-go about playing Tuesday and in the end he wasn't selected. The full-back will have a few more days to recover his fitness before taking on Tottenham on Saturday back in Premier League action. Dwight McNeil is starting at left-back in place of Mykolenko.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Abdoulaye Doucoure - Out Tuesday Doucoure (undisclosed) is out for Tuesday's clash with Fulham.

Impact Doucoure wasn't selected for Tuesday's clash with Fulham. The midfielder was always going to be an injury doubt and in the end he wasn't risked. Doucoure will look to recover his fitness before a Saturday clash with Tottenham in the Premier League.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Abdoulaye Doucoure - Picks up injury Doucoure came off with an apparent injury during a 2-0 win over Burnley, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Mykolenko is touch-and-go for Tuesday, Doucs will probably be the same. "

Impact Doucoure came off at halftime during the win over Burnley. It's a particularly disappointing injury since the midfielder was in a rich vein of goalscoring form before the injury. He will hope to return for Tuesday's FA Cup clash with Fulham, though he may not return before Saturday's trip to Tottenham.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Vitaliy Mykolenko - Doubtful Tuesday Mykolenko is a doubt for Tuesday's clash with Fulham, according to manager Sean Dyche."Mykolenko is touch-and-go for Tuesday, Doucs will probably be the same. "

Impact Mykolenko is a major doubt for Tuesday's FA Cup match. The full-back would be a major loss though Ashley Young has been a competent replacement. Mykolenko missed the 2-0 loss to Burnley, but the fact that he is expected to be back so quickly is a major sign that it perhaps isn't the most serious injury.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Idrissa Gueye - No longer suspended Gueye is available for Saturday's match against Tottenham after serving a one-match ban due to yellow card accumulation against Burnley this past Saturday.

Impact Gueye is once again available for Everton, having served his one-match suspension after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season against Chelsea. The midfielder should return to the starting XI for their match against Tottenham, as he has started in all but five contests this season, leading the line in the midfield in most matches. If he does end up starting Saturday, expect Amadou Onana to return to the bench.
