Everton injury update on Man Utd loanee Donny van de Beek after magnificent display in Leeds victory

Frank Lampard allayed fears over Donny van de Beek after he received treatment during a magnificent full debut in Everton’s 3-0 victory over Leeds United.

The midfielder moved to the Toffees on loan from Manchester United during the deadline day.

After coming off the bench in Tuesday’s 3-1 loss at Newcastle, van de Beek was given an outing from the outset against Leeds at Goodison Park.

And the Dutchman delivered a fine display in the engine room to inspire the Blues to victory.

Van de Beek did go down with a problem in the 55th minute, however, and received medical treatment.

But Lampard insisted that van de Beek was fine and his problem was likely due to a tough 90 minutes against a high-octane Leeds side.

Lampard said: “I think so [everything was OK]. He didn’t say anything to me.

“I just spoke generally to the lads and I think something would have been flagged.

“I just think the 90 minutes told on him. He hasn’t played a lot of 90 minutes, it was a really difficult 90 minutes physically for everyone today but I think he’s OK.”

On van de Beek’s performance, Lampard said: “I know Donny a player from the outside and brought him here because of his talent.

“He can play, he’s intelligent, a real technical player.

“He was part of a really work ethic type of performance. He matched the other players, was calm, linked the play, confident on the ball and that’s exactly what I brought him here to do.”
