Moves to Aston Villa Dobbin signed with Aston Villa away from Everton for an undisclosed amount of time.

Impact Dobbin makes the move to Villa as more of a project given that he couldn't find senior minutes at Everton this past season, playing just 227 minutes in league play. At 21 years old, this is a signing for the future and the hope is that he can become a real piece in the Villa attack two or three years from now.

Available off bench Friday Dobbin (ankle) is on the bench for Friday's game against Luton Town.

Impact Dobbin makes the bench for the first time since early March. Even if he's available down the stretch for the Toffees, he's not expected to make a major impact in fantasy, as he's made just one start during the entire league campaign.

Gets time with U21s Dobbin (ankle) received time with the U21s Monday but is still not ready for a return to first-team action, according to manager Sean Dyche. "It's still early. He's had around six...

Impact Dobbin is making good progress in his recovery program, as he was included in a real-time match with the U21s Monday, implying he can't be too far from a return. However, after an extended absence, the young attacker still needs more time to heal before he can return to play in the Premier League. However, with only three games left in the season, there is a chance he is just kept on the sidelines to finish the season, as he was not an integral part of the team when fit, only starting once in his 11 appearances.

Out Tuesday Dobbin (ankle) is out for Tuesday's match against Newcastle.

Impact Dobbin still is not fit after being forced to sit out of Saturday's match against Bournemouth due to an ankle issue. There has been no recent report on the player's status, but he will now look for a return against Burnley on Saturday.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Bournemouth tilt Dobbin will not be an option for Saturday's match against Bournemouth, as he has been ruled out by manager Sean Dyche due to an ankle issue.

Impact Dobbin is the newest player to hit the injury list for Everton, having appeared to have picked up an ankle issue this week in training. Luckily for the club, this should only have a minimal effect on the team, as he has only started once all season in 11 appearances, having gone unused off the bench in 15 contests this season. He will now hope to heal up in time to be on the team sheet for next week's match against Newcastle on April 2, although that will depend on his work in training, with a timetable for his return having yet to be announced.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Fit for West Ham clash Dobbin (ankle) is available as a substitute for Saturday's match against West Ham.

Impact Dobbin missed out on last week's match through injury, but has made just one start on the season for Everton. The forward has played a total of eight minutes in 2024.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Left off injury report Dobbin (ankle) was not mentioned in manager Sean Dyche's pre-match press conference ahead of Saturday's clash with West Ham United.

Impact Dobbin was an unused substitute in four of his last seven outings with the club and managed just eight combined minutes in the other three matches. Even if the forward does make the squad Saturday, he will be unlikely to break into the starting XI with any regularity.

Picks up ankle issue Dobbin was held out for Saturday's match against Brighton due to an ankle injury, manager Sean Dyche told reporters following the 1-1 draw.

Impact Dobbin appears to have picked up his first injury of the new year ahead of Saturday's match, missing out on the contest due to ankle issues. The club will be disappointed to lose the depth in their squad, but outside of that, it shouldn't affect much, as he has only appeared nine times all season, with one of those being a start. He will now look to shake off the injury and return within the next two weeks, either against West Ham on Saturday or against Manchester United on March 9.

Solid presence in win Dobbin generated two tackles (two won) in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Burnley.

Impact Dobbin entered as a sub at halftime and logged at least 45 minutes of action for only the the third match this season and the first time since late August. However, this marked his second consecutive appearance and third in the last five matches, as he looks to be earning more opportunity.

Ready to play Sunday Dobbin (undisclosed) will be in contention for Sunday's clash with Arsenal.

Impact Dobbin has started just once in his three appearances this season in which he registered one shot (on target), six crosses (zero accurate) and two tackles (two won). With Dominic Calvert-Lewin (face) back in the squad as well, Dobbin almost certainly will find himself relegated to a spot on the bench but could see plenty of opportunities as a substitute.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Training Thursday Dobbin (undisclosed) trained with the squad in the lead-up to Sunday's clash with Arsenal.

Impact Dobbin played in all three of Everton's opening matches before suffering an undisclosed injury. In those appearances, including one start, the forward recorded one shot (on target), six crosses (zero accurate) and two tackles (two won). Even with Dobbin healthy, he will likely find himself back on the bench, especially if Dominic Calvert-Lewin (face) is cleared to play.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Saturday Dobbin (undisclosed) is absent for Saturday's clash with Sheffield United.

Impact Dobbin played in all three matches to start the season, starting once, but he picked out an unspecified injury during the week and won't be an option for this one. Arnaut Danjuma is starting on the left flank.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Signs new Everton deal Dobbin has signed a new 3.5-year deal with Everton, keeping him at the club until 2025.

Impact Dobbin has appeared in three league matches this season and will hope to grow his role over the years. He's still young and has a lot of work to do to earn more time, but the good news is that he signed a deal and has a chance for more time in the years ahead.
