Lewis Dobbin’s participation in the upcoming Premier League match on Saturday (2 March) against West Ham is in question, as reported by the Daily Mail.
In an early team news snippet from the publication’s 2 March print edition, it’s highlighted that Everton’s squad may face challenges as they welcome David Moyes back to his former stomping ground.
Everton’s manager, Sean Dyche, has already indicated that Idrissa Gueye and Amadou Onana’s availability is uncertain, adding to the absence of Arnaut Danjuma and Dele Alli. Furthermore, both Andre Gomes and Dobbin are considered doubtful for this crucial home game, which marks Everton’s first match since the restoration of four points to their season tally.
The potential absence of six key players poses a significant challenge for Everton against West Ham United. While the focus is on ensuring Gueye and Onana’s readiness, Dyche would undoubtedly benefit from having Gomes, Dobbin, and Danjuma at his disposal.
With 17 and 16 starts respectively, Gueye and Onana have been pivotal this season. Dobbin, despite starting only once, has been a vital option off the bench, contributing with a goal.
With just two matches remaining before the international break, Everton’s injured players will soon have an additional two weeks to recover.
Despite the possibility of facing West Ham without several key players, Everton remains optimistic about their chances, especially with the recent boost in points. A victory at Goodison Park could significantly improve the team’s spirits during a challenging season.
