Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed Abdoulaye Doucoure has sustained a fractured foot, and will miss 8-10 weeks of action.
Doucoure has been a key man for the Toffees on the back of a £20 million move from Watford in the summer of 2020, with just two Premier League games sat out this season.
On Monday, Ancelotti downplayed the significance of the loss,: “He [Doucoure] is an important player, he puts a lot of energy [into the midfield] but I think we have the possibility to replace him well.”
Everton are due to play host to Burnley on Saturday, with Ancelotti’s side continuing to sit four points adrift of the Champions League qualification spots.
