Everton have been dealt a poor hand on the injury front in recent times, and now it has come out that one player has been dealing with a secret injury this season.
There must be something Sean Dyche is doing at Everton that’s causing these strange injuries to occur and re-emerge.
James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam have both picked up injuries and are set to miss the Ipswich Town clash, with the latter now out for weeks.
Jarrad Branthwaite suffered a setback after returning against Crystal Palace, whilst Nathan Patterson is getting better but isn’t ready to return just yet.
This comes after Iliman Ndiaye, Vitalii Mykolenko and Seamus Coleman have all picked up issues already this season.
Now, it’s come out that one Everton star has been suffering with a secret injury too.
Everton star has been nursing a secret injury this season
The positive news is that one Everton player is getting closer to recovering from the secret injury that has been plaguing him this season.
However, the bad news is that it’s another injury that has been so easily picked up at Goodison.
Interestingly, it has been relayed by the Liverpool Echo that James Tarkowski has been playing through back and glute issues already this season.
Everton fans react to news of James Tarkowski’s injury
These Everton fans, when speaking on X, questioned many things after learning of Tarkowski’s injury.
“This goes against everything Dyche does with every other player. The rest seem to have to spend 3 weeks training ‘on the grass’ to get ‘properly fit’ . If he’s out of form and unfit he shouldn’t be playing and making the injury worse. Such a strange contradiction our gaffer.” @alexdsmiff said.
@sophefc2023 wasn’t happy: “Secretly questions have to be asked about this O’Brien deal can’t get in ahead of a player who’s basically injured.”
@Gre9orypeck09 stated: “Player struggling with injury and form and still our £17m 4th CB Jake O’Brien can’t get a game. Incredible!”
@TheDone_82 mentioned: “You can tell.”
“Explains a lot.”, @efc_cain clearly thinks his performances have suggested an injury.
@HJJ92_ commented: “Makes it even more mad Dyche would rather play an injured player than a £20m CB that HE signed.”
