Impact Branthwaite isn't going to be an option for Monday, but he's nearing a return to full training. At this point it's looking more likely than not he's going to target a return after the international break. James Tarkowski and Michael Keane have been a consistent pairing in the backline. When Branthwaite is fit, Keane will likely be the odd man out.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Branthwaite (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Liverpool.

Could be available Saturday Branthwaite (hamstring) is making progress and hasn't been ruled out for Saturday's Merseyside derby against Liverpool, coach David Moyes said in the press conference.

Impact Branthwaite is making progress towards a return from his hamstring injury that made him miss all the start of the season so far with the Toffees. That said, the defender hasn't been ruled out for the Merseyside derby against Liverpool on Saturday and could maybe be part of the squad. This is good news since Branthwaite has been an undisputed starter in the backline for Everton last season and should claim that role back once at full fitness.

Impact Branthwaite is still several weeks away from making his return from his hamstring injury since he hasn't yet resume team training. A return from the center-back would be a big boost for the Toffees' backline since he has been an undisputed starter in the backline last season. That said, until he returns full fit, Michael Keane is seeing a bigger role in central defense.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Still not fit Branthwaite (hamstring) has yet to log minutes for Everton this season and is uncertain to be available to face Aston Villa on Sep. 13.

Impact The center-back suffered a hamstring injury a few days before the season opener against Leeds United and has yet to return to action. Even though he'll be assessed before facing Villa, there's no certainty on whether he's close to returning, as the coaching staff hasn't provided further updates on his status. Michael Keane has been starting at center-back as Branthwaite's replacement in a depleted defensive line that also has Nathan Patterson (groin), Adam Aznou (ankle) and Vitaly Mykolenko (undisclosed) as injury concerns.

Not ready to return yet Branthwaite (hamstring) is out for Sunday's match against Brighton, manager David Moyes told media during his pre-match press conference Friday. "Jarrad is on the way but not fit."

Impact Branthwaite suffered a hamstring injury in the preseason, and those injuries tend to take a while to recover, so it's not surprising that he's still not ready. However, the fact that he's beginning to work on his comeback suggests there might be an outside chance for him to return when the Toffees take on Wolverhampton on Aug. 30 right before the international break.

Impact The star center-back picked up an injury in training earlier this week, and his absence will leave a huge void at the back for the Toffees. This means Michael Keane will likely partner with James Tarkowski at center-back, although Jake O'Brien could also be an option if he slides from his natural right-back role. The extent of the injury isn't fully known, so it's unclear if Branthwaite will be ready to return for Everton's subsequent match against Brighton on Sunday, Aug. 24.

AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up hamstring injury Branthwaite suffered a hamstring injury in training, El Bobble reports.

Impact Branthwaite is now in doubt for the Premier League opener against Leeds United due to the issue. Injuries have been a consistent problem for the center-back, so any kind of concern here would be amplified. There's no official update on the injury or a potential return for Branthwaite, but his absence could force Michael Keane back into the starting XI, or shift Jake O'Brien over to center-back from his natural place at right-back.

Impact Brathwaite was thought to start training soon after suffering an injury earlier this offseason, but has done one better, with the defender finding the field for a friendly. This is great news as the club gains back a regular starter ahead of the campaign, only a week away. He should have a starting role secured, starting in 28 of his 30 appearances last season, while having a stalwart effort in the defense.

Impact Branthwaite has been struggling with a minor injury for the past few weeks, but is receiving a good update just ahead of the start of the season, with the defender set to return to training soon. This is good news for the club as they are only two weeks out from the opener. He is set to be a starter this season when fit, so the hope is for the defender to be fit when facing Leeds United on August 18.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Suffering from minor injury Branthwaite will not travel with his club to the USA for a preseason tour due to a minor injury he picked up in a friendly against Blackburn, according to his club.

Impact Branthwaite is dealing with some issues after he just returned from a previous injury during the preseason, as the defender will now be held out for a preseason tournament. Not much else has been released about his situation, although it appears the club is playing it as a minor knock. That said, he will look to either join them later in the tour or when they return for training, with the season only a month away.

Starting in pre-season Branthwaite (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's pre-season friendly with Accrington.

Impact Branthwaite is fit enough to get the start in the opening match of pre-season, as expected.

Branthwaite will be one of the most important parts of the starting XI when the Premier League kicks off.

Impact Branthwaite confirmed that his hamstring injury is fully healed and that he is fit to start pre-season with his teammates during Everton's trip to America. This is good news for both the team and the player, as he is a key figure in the backline, which was underlined by his five-year contract extension signed on Wednesday.

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Signs contract extension until 2030 Branthwaite has signed a contract extension with Everton until June 2030, the club announced.

Impact Branthwaite joined the Toffees from his hometown club Carlisle United in January 2020 and, following loan spells at Blackburn Rovers and PSV Eindhoven, has been a key part of Everton's backline in the last two seasons. Branthwaite formed part of Everton's backline that ended each of the past two Premier League campaigns with the fourth-best defensive record in England's top flight. The defender will head into 2025/26 with the same ambition and will hope to come back fully fit for the pre-season with the Blues after ending the season with a hamstring injury.

JULY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Missing finale Branthwaite (hamstring) is out for Sunday's trip to Newcastle, according to manager David Moyes. "I can tell you he's injured and won't be available."

Impact Branthwaite isn't going to be an option for the season finale, wrapping up another excellent campaign in the Everton backline. The defender is one of the best in the league and will almost certainly be sought after by some of the biggest clubs in the country just as he was during the last summer. Branthwaite made 30 appearances (28 starts) and kept eight clean sheets as Everton comfortably finished mid-table.

MAY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Off with hamstring injury Branthwaite was forced off in the second half of Sunday's match against Southampton due to a hamstring injury.
