Jarrad Branthwaite is now planning the next step of his recovery from his latest Everton injury.
During the Merseyside derby, Branthwaite sustained another hamstring injury, which will keep him out for the remainder of the season.
Although a clear setback for the injury-riddled defender, the positive news is that Branthwaite does not require surgery.

Recent history does not bode well for Everton… 🫣
Everton will be hoping to see him return for pre-season as the 23-year-old is ready to jet off to Munich for specialist rehabilitation.
Jarrad Branthwaite set for injury rehabilitation away from Everton
Despite suffering the frustrating setback, Branthwaite is in high spirits having learned that his injury was not as serious as first feared.
One club insider has now shared an update on the centre-back, with specialist recovery in store for Branthwaite.
How would you have the side lined up if you were David Moyes? 🤩
Let's hope Beto is ready to go on Monday! 🤕
“Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite is planning the next phase of his rehabilitation programme with a trip to Munich, Germany, at the world renowned MYOS clinic,” he said on X.
Everton remain positive over Branthwaite’s injury despite it being suffered on the same right hamstring which required surgery last year.
The 23-year-old has had no luck over recent years when it comes to injuries having missed almost the entirety of the 2025/26 campaign.
Everton must learn from constant Branthwaite injury issues
Branthwaite’s hamstrings are a clear problem for the defender, with his current campaign having been written off as a result.
Everton were warned about Branthwaite’s fitness just a matter of weeks prior to the Merseyside derby.
Those concerns saw Branthwaite removed from the side for the game against Arsenal, but he quickly made his return.
| 2025/26 Premier League | Total |
| Appearances | 10 |
| Minutes | 681 |
| Goals | 1 |
| Games missed through injury | 27* |
It has become abundantly clear this season that, going forward, Branthwaite’s minutes are going to have to be managed.
Moyes has players capable of covering for Branthwaite, with Jake O’Brien yet to really showcase his ability at centre-back.
There is no doubt that Everton value what Branthwaite offers the side, but Moyes is going to have to use him sensibly going forward.
