Everton have endured a difficult start to their 2023-24 Premier League season.
After four games, the Toffees are still without a victory - and sections of supporters are already fearing that another relegation battle is on the cards. Not only have Sean Dyche’s side not won a match but they’ve accrued just one point from a possible 12. That leaves them sitting in the drop zone.
However, Dyche has been encouraged by some of the performances Everton have delivered. They were held to a 2-2 draw against Sheffield United before the international break, having led at Bramall Lane, while the Blues created enough chances in 1-0 losses to Fulham and Wolves respectively.
At this early stage of the campaign, Everton have had more injury issues than they might have expected and Dyche admitted the squad was stretched at Sheffield United. The Goodison Park chief is hopeful that players will return for when Arsenal travel to L4 on Saturday 16 September. With that in mind, here’s a look at when those with injuries could be back in action.
