Ben Godfrey - Out with groin injury Godfrey is not in Everton's match day squad for Monday's clash against Leicester City due to a groin injury, manager Sean Dyche announced before the game.

Impact Godfrey has started seven of Everton's nine Premier League games since the start of March, but he missed out Monday due to injury. Vitaliy Mykolenko and Seamus Coleman (hamstring) get the starts at either full-back position against Leicester.

Seamus Coleman - Back in starting XI Coleman (hamstring) will be in the starting XI against Leicester City on Monday.

Impact Coleman returns to the pitch after missing the Toffees' last three matches due to his hamstring problem. In his last five outings, the veteran right-back recorded two shots (one on target), five crosses (two accurate) and 11 clearances. While Coleman is unlikely to generate a ton of offensive production, he should rack up plenty of defensive stats and could add some crosses as well.

Yerry Mina has become Everton's forgotten man. It is time to bring him in from the cold Everton have a better record when Yerry Mina plays, so isn't it time Sean Dyche used him? For both parties, time is running out

Abdoulaye Doucoure - Two tackles in return Doucoure registered two tackles (two won) and two chances created in Thursday's 4-1 loss versus Newcastle United.

Impact Doucoure returned to the lineup after serving a three-match ban for a straight red card shown to him on April 3. He's been a regular starter of late, making 10 appearances in the starting XI in a row while generating two goals, two assists, 15 chances created and 15 tackles (nine won) in that span.

Amadou Onana - Productive in return Onana generated five tackles (two won), five interceptions and five clearances in Thursday's 4-1 defeat to Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 40th min...

Impact Onana returned to the lineup after missing the last two matches with a knee injury and was back to his productive ways, recording multiple tackles and clearances Thursday. He ups his average tackles a game to 2.3 after totaling 12 (six won) in the last five contests.

Seamus Coleman - Targetting Monday return Coleman (hamstring) is hoping to be back on the pitch against Leicester City on Monday.

Impact Coleman would be a much-needed boost to the Everton back line after Ben Godfrey was clearly out of his element filling in at right-back versus Newcastle United on Thursday. For his part, Coleman has recorded five crosses (two accurate), 11 clearances and 10 tackles (seven won) in his last five appearances. If given the green light to play, Coleman figures to be a near-lock for the starting XI.

Jordan Pickford - Struggles in loss Pickford made three saves and allowed four goals in Thursday's 4-1 defeat against Newcastle United.

Impact Pickford allowed four goals Thursday, three of them coming within six minutes of each other. He has allowed multiple goals in four out of the last six matches, letting in 12 in that span. As a result, he has only secured seven clean sheets in the league, which does match his total from last season with five games left on the campaign. The keeper will head to Leicester City on Monday, who have scored five goals in the last contests.

APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Seamus Coleman - Not included in squad Coleman (hamstring) was left off the match-day squad against Newcastle United on Thursday.

Impact Coleman was expected to be a late test ahead of this clash with Newcastle, so it could be an indication he'll be ready in time to face Leicester City on Monday. In his last five contests, the right-back notched two shots (one on target), five crosses (two accurate) and 10 tackles (seven won). Once cleared to play, Coleman should reclaim his spot in the starting XI from Ben Godfrey.

APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Amadou Onana - In starting XI Onana (groin) will feature in the starting XI against Newcastle United on Thursday.

Impact Onana returns following a two-match stint on the sidelines due to his groin problem and gives manager Sean Dyche his preferred trio in the midfield. In his last five outings (all starts), Onana recorded seven shots (two on target), nine tackles (five won) and six interceptions.

APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Amadou Onana - Could be option against Newcastle Onana (groin) is back on the grass and is a late test for Thursday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Onana is at least back on the pitch and taking parts in training, but it doesn't sound like he's fully fit just yet. It's unlikely he'll start his first match back from a groin injury, but Abdoulaye Doucoure is available again following suspension, so he's set to rejoin the XI, possibly with James Garner still there, as well.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Seamus Coleman - Late test Thursday Coleman (hamstring) is back on the grass and considered a late test for Thursday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact Coleman has been out since the April 8 contest and is unlikely to start Thursday, given the nature of the injury and his age. There's no reason to push him back in the squad too soon from a muscle injury, so it's expected Dyche will go with Ben Godfrey or Nathan Patterson at right-back even if he would prefer to have Coleman there.

APRIL 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Keane - Busy defensively versus Palace Keane made seven clearances and four interceptions while helping his side to keep a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Keane had another productive performance at the heart of the defense, leading all players in both clearances and interceptions and being key for his side to keep a rare clean sheet. With 42 clearances over his last eight starts, the center-back is mostly thriving individually since returning to starting XI but it isn't translating into collective success as of late.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Iwobi - Creates four chances versus Palace Iwobi had two shots (one on target) and created four chances during Saturday's scoreless draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Iwobi was one of his side's top performers here, creating more chances than anyone on the pitch and also finishing a couple of plays himself, but that wasn't enough for Everton to score a much needed goal for their fight against relegation. With no goals and just one assist over his last 20 league starts, Iwobi will have to step up to increase his club's chance of keep playing Premier League football next season.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Takes three shots in return Calvert-Lewin (hamstring) had three shots (two on target) and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's scoreless draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Calvert-Lewin played for the first time since Feb. 2 and was able to play for 89 minutes. The striker was a little bit rusty but still had a couple of moments against a solid defense. But the good news was that, after struggling with injuries for most of the campaign so far, Calvert-Lewin looked fully recovered and his presence will certainly add a lot of hope for a Everton squad currently sitting on the relegation zone.

APRIL 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Pickford - Keeps clean sheet versus Palace Pickford made two saves and kept a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Pickford benefited from the opposition's lack of accuracy in front of the net but also did his job when called into action to keep his third clean sheet over the last 10 starts. It's been a rough campaign for the star goalkeeper and he'll need to be at his best during Thursday's clash against a Newcastle side that is coming off scoring six on Tottenham.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin = hope The returning striker will need time to get back to near his best. But he at least now offers Everton a focal point

APRIL 24, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Abdoulaye Doucoure - Returning from suspension Doucoure will be eligible to feature in Thursday's clash against Newcastle United after serving a three-game suspension.

Impact Doucoure has missed his side's last three games since receiving a straight red card against Spurs at the start of April for getting into it with Harry Kane, but he is able to return on Thursday and is likely to plug straight back into Everton's starting lineup in midfield to face Newcastle.

APRIL 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mason Holgate - Sent off in draw Holgate was shown a straight red card during Saturday's scoreless draw with Crystal Palace.

Impact Holgate was shown a straight red card for dangerous play and sent off in the 80th minute. The defender will now be suspended for matches against Newcastle, Leicester, and Brighton. This was Holgate's second appearance and first start since Aug. 27, as he has been an entirely unused substitute otherwise. With Holgate suspended Ben Godfrey could step back into the starting right-back role as he did against Fulham, or Nathan Patterson, who replace Godfrey, could take the starting role.

Amadou Onana - Not playing Saturday Onana (groin) is not in the squad for Saturday's game against Crystal Palace.

Impact Onana was set to face a late fitness test after manager Sean Dyche said the midfielder "had made a bit more of a recovery", but he is still not fit enough to even make the bench. His next chance to feature will come Thursday against Newcastle United at Selhurst Park.

APRIL 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Godfrey - Makes bench Saturday Godfrey (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's game against Crystal Palace.

Impact As expected, Godfrey is fit and available, but he will wait for his opportunity on the bench. Vitaly Mykolenko, Michael Keane, James Tarkowski and Mason Holgate are starting in central defense against the Eagles.

APRIL 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Starting against Palace Calvert-Lewin (hamstring) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Crystal Palace.

Impact The former England international looked healthy enough to impress the manager, and after playing around 70 minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly earlier this week, Sean Dyche decided to start him right away in place of the struggling Nearl Maupay. Calvert-Lewin hasn't played since Feb. 2.

APRIL 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Amadou Onana - Late test against Palace Onana (groin) "has made a bit more of a recovery" and is a late-fitness test for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Sean Dyche.

Impact There's a chance Onana could be back in the starting XI Saturday after missing the match against Fulham. All of that depends on how he reacts following training sessions Thursday and Friday. Everton's midfield has struggled a bit the last two matches with Abdoulaye Doucoure suspended and then Onana's injury. The question will be if James Garner keeps his spot in the starting XI Saturday if Onana is healthy.

APRIL 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Godfrey - Expected to be fine Saturday Godfrey (undisclosed) wasn't mentioned by manager Sean Dyche ahead of Saturday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Godfrey only made it 58 minutes last weekend with what was believed to be a possible concussion. However, nothing has been made of it since and it seems like he'll be an option to start again Saturday. If not, Nathan Patterson would likely move back into the starting XI.
