Everton manager, David Moyes has confirmed that the duo of Iliman Ndiaye and Vitalii Mykolenko are doubtful for the game against Aston Villa at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday, Softfootball reports.
After two wins and a loss in the Premier League the Toffees are currently placed fifth on the log with six points while Aston Villa sit 19th after collecting just a point from the first three matches of the season.
Everton’s fantastic form has been fueled by the incredible form of Jack Grealish, who earlier today was named premier league player of the month for August.
During pre-match press conference shared by Everyone via their official club media, Moyes gave his team update ahead the Villa showdown. He said:
We’ve got a concern about Ili Ndiaye – he’s got a knock, so we’ll need to see. We’re not sure how he’ll be for tomorrow.
Myko is around it. We’ll need to see whether he’s going to make it or not. Hopefully he might be okay. He had felt something in the game against Wolves and he’d made it known but he felt that he was fine to go to Ukraine, but once he got there he felt that maybe he wasn’t quite right so he came away from it.
David Moyes is also likely to be without former Manchester United target Branthwaite for the visit of Unai Emery’s men. He continued:
Jarrad is getting closer but he’s not quite there yet – but he’s certainly getting closer and hopefully we get him back because he’s a huge player for us. He’s a player we value highly and someone we have lots of hopes for, so we’re looking forward to getting him back.
I’ve no idea [when he’ll be back], at the moment, but I think we’ll be a few weeks before we’re at that stage.
Everton beat Brighton, Mansfield Town and Wolves prior to the international break and will hope the good form continues against Aston Villa on Saturday.
