Everton have had a turbulent 2023/24 campaign, with the Premier League season now in March. The Toffees were sunk by a ten-point deduction for FFP breaches, but have since battled their way out of the bottom three and had the sanction reduced to six points.
However, Sean Dyche’s men could once again be stung by another points deduction for a further breach of regulations.
The Merseyside club will be eager to keep their players fit with the prospect of another points deduction in the near future, and with that in mind, Football FanCast is here to keep you updated with the latest injury news coming out of Goodison Park.
Latest Everton injury news
Everton will definitely be without three players through injury on Saturday for their clash with West Ham United, with the likes of Andre Gomes, Arnaut Danjuma and Dele Alli all possibly set to be sidelined.
Both Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gueye will both face late tests ahead of the match, so haven’t been ruled out.

Andre Gomes – hamstring
Andre Gomes was one of the standout performers for the Toffees prior to his calf injury.
And, his recovery is going well, according to Sean Dyche:
“André has been back out on the grass with us. He’s going well.”
Dele Alli – injury setback
Dele is yet to play for Dyche, as he was on loan with Besiktas when the former Burnley boss was appointed manager.
And things have gone from bad to worse for the recovering midfielder, as he’s set to be out for even longer after going under the knife recently.
Dyche provided an update on Dele as well, stating: “Dele’s focus is just getting fit. Obviously, he’s got a period [to go] yet but he’s just focusing on that. We’re not worrying about when, just, first things first, get fit. That’s all we’re looking for him to do and that’s all he’s looking to do.”
Arnaut Danjuma – ankle
The forward suffered an ankle injury during the goalless stalemate at Fulham, which caused him to miss the Tottenham Hotspur clash.
And, he’s set to miss games for the forseeable future too, with him believed to be a longer term injury.
He stated: “Arnie [Danjuma] is doing well with his ankle but it’s obviously a longer-term situation. He’s doing really well. I just spoke to him before I came in [for the press conference] and he’s in a good place, it’s going well.”
Amadou Onana – groin
Amadou Onana is currently suffering with a little bit of a groin problem ahead of the West Ham clash.
However, there is a chance he plays tomorrow, as Dyche stated this:
“Ama [Onana] has got a groin thing, similar to Gana’s, which is just settling down, so we’ll make more of a decision on them tomorrow [Friday].”
Idrissa Gueye – groin
Idrissa Gueye is also suffering from a slight groin issue ahead of the West Ham clash.
And, he’s also in with a chance of playing tomorrow, as Dyche stated this:
“”[Gana] is still settling down. Ama [Onana] has got a groin thing, similar to Gana’s, which is just settling down, so we’ll make more of a decision on them tomorrow [Friday].”
Latest Everton suspension news
The club will go into Saturday’s game without any players missing through suspension.
