On his way to his much-anticipated homecoming with Everton, Dele Alli faces an injury setback.
After having surgery to treat a longstanding groin issue, Dele Alli has suffered another setback in his quest to return to the Premier League.
When he was on loan at Besiktas, the Everton midfielder suffered a hip injury that kept him out of action for eleven months.
Sean Dyche has not included Dele in his plans for the season due to a groin ailment he sustained during his recuperation after surgery to treat that issue.
The 27-year-old’s chances of making a return this month seem slim, and Everton had thought he would be among the contenders.
However, there is currently no timeline for the playmaker’s return.
“Unfortunately, he has to have surgery,” Dyche stated.
It took a while because there was considerable discussion about whether or not to.
He will now be healing from that, and at this point, there is no estimated time frame.
All we have to do is wait for it to develop, and so far, so good.
At the end of this season, Dele’s contract expires.
In an interview last summer, he disclosed details about his horrific background and addiction to sleeping pills.
Dele’s unusual January 2022 transfer from Tottenham was contingent upon him making 20 appearances for Everton, with Everton to pay the first £10 million of a possible £40 million sum.
The former England international has made 13 appearances, 12 of which have come as substitutes. Given his most recent injury, the Spurs’ chances of getting paid for the player are dwindling.
André Gomes will also be absent from Everton’s FA Cup match against Luton Town on Saturday.
The midfield player has a calf problem. With the winning goal against Crystal Palace, he guaranteed Everton’s spot in the fourth round.
The captain, Séamus Coleman, will miss the match against Rob Edwards’ team due to a similar ailment, and the prominent Abdoulaye Doucouré is expected to miss a significant amount of time due to a hamstring issue.
