Undergoes hamstring surgery Davies underwent hamstring surgery Tuesday and will be out an unknown amount of time.

Impact Everton didn't give a timeline, but hamstring surgeries usually mean months on the sidelines. Davies hasn't appeared since November because of a knee injury and now this hamstring issue, and he probably won't be ready for another couple months.

Likely to remain out Davies (knee) went without an update in manager Rafa Benitez's press conference in the lead-up to Thursday's matchup with Chelsea.

Impact Considering Davies has already missed five matches and the team has yet to provide any specific details regarding the nature of his absence, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting him back in action against Chelsea. Even if the midfielder is in the squad, he will likely serve primarily as a bench option.

Remains sidelined Davies (knee) will not be an option against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Impact Davies will be unavailable for his fifth consecutive contest due to his lingering knee issue. Even once cleared to play, the midfielder is far from a lock for the starting XI and figures to serve primarily as a bench option moving forward.

Out again versus Gunners Davies (knee) will be out of action for his fourth consecutive contest after manager Rafa Benitez told reporters, "We are still missing Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Tom Davies."

Impact Davies has started just once this season, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting him to feature heavily in the starting XI moving forward. As such, Davies will remain a low-end fantasy option and figures to be out indefinitely until he can rejoin first-team training.

Still sidelined Wednesday Davies (knee) will not be an option versus Liverpool on Wednesday.

Impact Davies will be out of action for his third straight match due to his lingering knee problem. Even when healthy, the midfielder has started just once this year and figures to remain on the fringes of the starting XI moving forward. As such, Davies shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value.

Unavailable versus Brentford Davies (knee) won't be an option for Sunday's clash with Brentford.

Impact Davies has made just one start in five appearances and was an unused substitute for another five contests, so his absence is unlikely to significantly impact the starting XI. Still, with Andre Gomes (calf) unavailable and Abdoulaye Doucoure (foot) and Demarai Gray (groin) both in doubt, the club's midfield options are getting thin.

Officially ruled out Sunday Davies (knee), as expected, will not be an option versus Manchester City on Sunday.

Impact Manager Rafa Benitez did not provide a specific recovery timeline for Davies but the team could certainly use some midfield depth with seven matches in December. Additionally, injuries to Abdoulaye Doucoure (foot) and Andre Gomes (calf) will put added pressure on the likes of Anthony Gordon and Fabian Delph.

Injures knee in training Davies suffered an apparent knee injury in a recent training session and could be out multiple weeks, reports Manchester Evening News.

Impact Davies hasn't seen much time in the squad this season, though that had changed in recent matches, including a start in which he scored a goal. His injury only adds to the midfield issues for Everton, as Abdoulaye Doucoure and Andre Gomes have been dealing with injuries, as well.

Scores in first start Davies scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 5-2 loss to Watford.

Impact Davies had barely played 20 minutes into his previous three appearances before logging an early strike during this contest. If he continues to get chances in the absence of Abdoulaye Doucoure (foot), then he could be a worthy fantasy asset to track. Up next is a trip to Wolves, which have conceded just one goal to midfielders this season.

Struggling for minutes Davies is close to being ready again following an undisclosed injury, according to manager Rafa Benitez.

Impact Davies is close to being ready again, but that doesn't really mean much for a bench player who hasn't gotten on the pitch when healthy. He's firmly behind Abdoulaye Doucoure and Allan in the midfield and unless those guys get hurt, he won't see much pitch time in league play.

Starts final match Davies went the full 90 in Sunday's finale against Manchester City, totaling one tackle, two clearances and a block.

Impact Davies didn't play as much as the prior season, but that was to be expected after Abdoulaye Doucoure and Allan joined before the season. Either way, Davies doesn't have much upside as a defensive midfielder, compiling seven shots and six chances created in 25 appearances (17 starts).
