“Injury Woes Hit Everton’s Midfield as Andre Gomes Faces Absence in FA Cup Clash Against Luton Town”

Sean Dyche faces a dilemma in central midfield ahead of Everton’s FA Cup fourth-round match against Luton Town, as Andre Gomes is sidelined due to an injury setback.

Gomes played a crucial role in Everton’s third-round replay victory over

Crystal Palace, scoring the winning goal with a first-half free-kick.

However, Dyche revealed that Gomes will not be available for the upcoming match against Luton Town.

This injury compounds Everton’s midfield challenges,

with Idrissa Gueye representing Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations and top scorer Abdoulaye Doucoure dealing with a new hamstring issue.

Dyche mentioned that Gomes has a calf problem,

and while waiting for more information on the duration of his absence,

it seems highly unlikely that he will feature in the upcoming weekend’s fixture.

Dyche also provided updates on other players, indicating that Seamus Coleman, Ashley Young, and Doucoure are not expected to be available for the weekend match.

Despite the injury challenges, Dyche remains determined to work with the available squad and continue pushing forward in the competition.
