Abdoulaye Doucoure is back in contention for Everton as they shift focus to their upcoming clash with Manchester United.
The midfielder missed the Everton‘s last outing due to suspension after being sent off following a heated exchange with Curtis Jones in the Merseyside derby.
The altercation came after James Tarkowski’s dramatic stoppage-time equaliser as the midfielder celebrated in front of the away fans, sparking tensions between both sets of players. Referee Michael Oliver had little choice but to show Doucoure and Jones their second yellow cards after the final whistle.
The incident didn’t end there, as former PGMOL chief Keith Hackett suggested police could intervene after a bottle was thrown from the Everton stands during the chaos.
Despite the frustration of missing their next game, Doucoure expressed his gratitude to Everton fans, acknowledging their unwavering support. Now, with his suspension served, the midfielder is ready to make his return as the side prepare for a test against Man United.
