Ashley Young - Logs double-digit crosses in loss Young created three chances, sent in 11 crosses (four accurate) and made two clearances and one interception during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Wolves.

Impact Young had his most active performance on the attacking end since joining Everton, bringing a lot of danger with his crosses on both open play and set pieces. With his offensive acumen and an established role on set pieces, the winger turned left-back has a great fantasy upside on him.

Arnaut Danjuma - Active in first start for Everton Danjuma had five shots (three on target) during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Wolves.

Impact Danjuma was unlucky not to score on his first start for Everton as he hit the post in the first half and then forced a save from Jose Sa in the second. The forward keeps looking for his first EPL goal and his next chance to open his account will be Saturday's visit to Sheffield United.

Everton still without a goal as Wolves score late to earn 1-0 win in EPL

Wolverhampton substitute Sasa Kalajdzic scored a late winner two minutes after coming on to secure a 1-0 victory at Everton in the English Premier League

Andre Gomes - Won't play Saturday Gomes (calf) is not on the squad for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton.

Impact Gomes continues to recover from a calf injury, so his absence is not surprising. His next chance to feature will come next Saturday at Sheffield United, but that seems highly unlikely given he's yet to play a single minute in 2023-24.

James Garner - Starts first two matches Garner has featured in each of Everton's first two contests, registering 10 crosses (two accurate) five corners and one shot (off target).

Impact Garner has been pressed into service with Dwight McNeil (ankle) on the shelf, a situation that could only get worse now that Alex Iwobi (hamstring) is also sidelined. For his part, Garner has performed well sitting second on the team in both crosses and corners. With Iwobi unavailable, Garner could see an even bigger share of the corner-taking responsibilities.

Vitaliy Mykolenko - On bench against Villa Mykolenko went unused on the bench during Sunday's 4-0 loss to Aston Villa.

Impact Mykolenko was reportedly still building match fitness after a pre-season injury and went unused on the bench in the opening two matches. Ashley Young got the start at left-back in place of Mykolenko, though when fit Mykolenko is likely to be the starter. In 2022-23 Mykolenko made 34 appearances (30 starts) breaking out as a true mainstay in the backline.

Alex Iwobi - Out multiple weeks Iwobi (hamstring) will miss "a few weeks," according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact As with any hamstring injury, Iwobi will miss at least two weeks with a full month seeming just as likely based off Dyche's comments. It's a tough injury for Everton, who are dealing with multiple absences just two matches into the season. Iwobi's injury could mean a spot in the starting XI for both Arnaut Danjuma and Neal Maupay, though Lewis Dobbin has also impressed the manager of late and could get a surprise call in upcoming matches.

Seamus Coleman - Set to miss 6-8 weeks Colman (knee) is set to miss the next 6-8 weeks, ruling him out for the month of September. "It was a significant injury but I am recovering well, hitting all the targets so far, b...

Impact Colman's injury turned out worse than expected, ruling him out for the next few weeks with the knee injury. He has already missed three months of action and is set to miss another one while he continues to recover. This also rules him out of the upcoming Euro qualifiers with Ireland in September. Nathan Patterson will likely remain at right back and could keep that starting spot, depending on his fitness once he returns to action.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Out against Wolves Calvert-Lewin (concussion) will miss Saturday's match against Wolverhampton, as he follows protocols and sees a specialist for his fractured cheekbone Friday, according to manager...

Impact Calvert-Lewin misses another match, though this one fortunately isn't muscle related. He'll hopefully get his cheekbone situation sorted and if he can surpass concussion protocols in the next few days, there's a chance he'll be able to play in the Sept. 2 contest. If not, that extra week during the international break could be helpful at allowing his face swelling to minimize. Neal Maupay and Arnaut Danjuma could both start against Wolves with Alex Iwobi also dealing with injury.

AUGUST 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Following concussion protocols Calvert-Lewin is following concussion protocols after suffering a fractured cheekbone in Sunday's match against Aston Villa, reports the BBC.

Impact At this point, it's hard to see Calvert-Lewin starting Saturday's match against Wolves, as surgery is still possible for his facial injury. In addition, he'll have to miss training while undergoing concussion protocols. While it's not muscle related, it's another injury for Calvert-Lewin that will likely see him miss time with Neal Maupay set for at least another start going forward, while Arnaut Danjuma likely comes in for Alex Iwobi.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Prevents concussion Calvert-Lewin has cleared concussion protocol but will still be day-to-day, according to manager Sean Dyche. "He's got a knock on his cheekbone, but there was no concussion. He had...

Impact Calvert-Lewin got the start after missing the first match of the season with an undisclosed injury. His season debut ended short after taking a knock the face. This could rule him out again for Saturday's match against Wolverhampton, depending on how quickly he can recover. If this is the case, then Arnaut Danjuma could take the start in his place.

James Tarkowski: Everton's 4-0 loss to Aston Villa was a 'fair result' | Premier League

Arnaut Danjuma - Takes four shots in defeat Arnaut Danjuma generated four shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 4-0 loss against Aston Villa.

Impact Danjuma, who has been dealing with a thigh injury, once again came off the bench, this time in the 38th minute after starting forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin had to depart following a head injury. In his 52 minutes of playing time, he led the team with four shots recorded, although only one of those was on goal. The forward had been deemed not fully fit a couple of days ago by his manager, so it remains to be seen whether he will be in the starting lineup after Dominic Calvert-Lewin's injury.

Jordan Pickford - Concedes four in defeat Pickford registered three saves and allowed four goals in Sunday's 4-0 defeat against Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 24th minute.

Impact Pickford struggled in the contest, allowing more goals than he made saves. He was under constant pressure, facing seven shots on goal. Perhaps his most costly mistake came in the 22nd minute when he committed a foul that led to a penalty kick, extending the opposing team's lead to two goals. The Everton defense didn't provide much help, as a mistake by Ashley Young put Jhon Duran in position to score Villa's fourth goal. The goalkeeper will look to improve his current form when his team faces Wolverhampton on Saturday.

Alex Iwobi - Suffers hamstring injury Iwobi was forced off in the second half of Sunday's match against Aston Villa with a hamstring injury.

Impact Iwobi was forced iff in the 50th minute, suffering the injury while running for a pass and being replaced by Neal Maupay. The full extent of injury should be revealed following the match, but a lengthy absence could be on the cards for the midfielder who is a locked in starter for the Toffees when fit.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Forced off with head injury Calvert-Lewin was forced off in the first half of Sunday's match against Aston Villa with a head injury.

Impact Calvert-Lewin collided with Emiliano Martinez early in the match, but was able to stay on until subbing off in the 38th minute, being replaced by Arnaut Danjuma. The forward left the match with a bag of ice under his eye, but a suspected concussion could also be in the cards for the injury prone forward.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Leading line Sunday Calvert-Lewin is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact The oft injured forward has recovered from an undisclosed injury which kept him out last week to lead the line from the opening kickoff for Everton on Sunday. Calvert-Lewin scored just twice in an injury plagued campaign a year ago, but has goals in his boots on the rare occassions of full fitness.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Andre Gomes - Out for Villa clash Gomes is not in the match day squad to face Aston Villa on Sunday.

Impact Gomes misses out on Sunday's match as expected as he continues to recover from a calf injury. Even when fully fit it seems unlikely that the midfielder will recover much of a role with Everton after spending last season on loan with Lille and falling down the pecking order.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Vitaliy Mykolenko - Still recovering Mykolenko isn't fully match fit for Sunday's trip to Aston Villa, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Arnaut Danjuma and Vitalii Mykolenko still have a bit to do."

Impact Mykolenko picked up a muscular injury during pre-season and hasn't made a full return yet. The wing-back is likely to be the top option when back to full fitness especially after makin 34 appearances during the 2022-23 Premier League.

AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Arnaut Danjuma - Not yet fully fit Danjuma (thigh) is not fully fit for Sunday's trip to Aston Villa, according to manager Sean Dyche. "Arnaut Danjuma and Vitalii Mykolenko still have a bit to do."

Impact Danjuma remains some way short of full fitness though the fact he was an option off the bench against Fulham is a good sign. The forward could lead the line when fit, though Dyche also revealed that Dominic Calvert-Lewin was "in good shape" so it's possible he takes over the starting role up top.

AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Arnaut Danjuma - Creates a chance in return Danjuma created a chance during Saturday's 1-0 loss over Fulham.

Impact Danjuma made the bench after dealing with an undisclosed injury and got 18 minutes of playing time. He could get the start at forward against Aston Villa on Sunday, with Dominic Calver-Lewin not fully fit to start yet,

AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Seamus Coleman - Sill out Coleman (knee) will not be an option for Sunday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Coleman is still not fit to return to the pitch and will remain on the sidelines with a knee injury. Nathan Patterson has emerged as the new favorite for the right back position, dropping the defender in the depth chart for the time being.

AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dwight McNeil - Starts light running drills McNeil (ankle) has begun light running drills in his rehabilitation from his ligament injury, said manager Sean Dyche.

Impact McNeil is stepping up his rehab program by beginning light running drills. He is still some time away before he can start ball work, then individual training. In the meantime, Alex Iwobi has been getting the start at left midfield for the team.

AUGUST 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Andre Gomes - Taking caution with calf issue Gomes could be in doubt for Sunday's match against Aston Villa after feeling tightness in his calf.

Impact Gomes was an unused substitute Saturday but has been feeling slight calf stiffness recently and will be a late call for Sunday. The team do not want to risk injuring him further, so it will not be a surprise if the midfielder sits out. He spent last season on loan to Lilie, totaling three goals and two assists in 26 appearances in Ligue 1. Gomes is still not the favorite to start, with James Garner and Idrissa Gueye better suited in the lineup over him at the moment.
