Iliman Ndiaye’s potential return date has just been issued after picking up injury in Everton vs Liverpool

Since Sean Dyche’s departure last month, Everton have been in sensational form under David Moyes’ stewardship.

Moyes has won four of his first six games in the Premier League, which has near enough secured the club’s safety already.

Everton’s 2-1 win against Crystal Palace on the weekend has moved the Toffees 13 points clear of the relegation zone.

Moyes has completely turned their fortunes around and even picked up a memorable point against Liverpool in the Merseyside derby last week.

However, there has been one negative lately, and that’s the injury to Iliman Ndiaye, who limped off against Liverpool in the first half.

Now, a potential return date has just been given.

Moyes confirmed last week that Ndiaye has a medial ligament injury and they’re fearful that he will be out for weeks.

“Ili’s got a medial ligament injury,” the Everton boss said. “It’s not looking great at the moment.”

There’s been no further word on exactly how long he will be sidelined, however, injury expert the Physio Scout, on X, has provided more clarity on his condition and potential return date.

“Scans will determine the length of the injury,” the physio wrote.

“Recovery Times: Grade 2: 3-6 weeks. Grade 3: 6-10 weeks We’re unsure whether it’s a moderate or high-grade MCL strain though.”

Time for Jack Harrison to step up

It looks as though Ndiaye will be out for a minimum of three weeks, so Jack Harrison is now expected to get a run in the team.

Jack Harrison has failed to impress the Goodison Park faithful this season, with some even urging him to return to his parent club Leeds United.

Perhaps having that trust from Moyes, like Beto has had in recent weeks, will see an improvement in his performance.

Either way, it’s certainly far from ideal for the Toffees, who have Dwight McNeil out injured for the foreseeable, too.
