AliousEverton’s Youseff Chermiti Provides Injury Update After Pre-Season SetbackYouseff Chermiti, Everton’s young Portuguese forward, has shared an injury update following his absence from the team’s final pre-season match against Preston.
Manager Sean Dyche had previously confirmed that the 20-year-old would be sidelined for an extended period [Liverpool Echo, 3 August].While the exact nature of Chermiti’s injury remains unclear, he’s expected to be out of action for more than a few weeks.
In an effort to keep fans informed, Chermiti posted an image on his Instagram story on Monday (5 August), showing himself in a hospital gown with his left foot heavily bandaged.
The caption read: “Thanks for all your messages, I’ll be back soon.”The severity of Chermiti’s injury appears significant, given his hospitalization and the extensive bandaging on his foot.
It’s likely he underwent some form of surgery, suggesting his recovery could extend to months rather than weeks.
This setback comes just as the new season is about to begin.
Chermiti’s injury is particularly unfortunate considering his impressive performances during pre-season.
While it’s uncertain whether he would have been a regular starter under Dyche, his recent form suggested he deserved consideration.
This development may increase the importance of retaining strikers Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Beto for Everton.
The club is expected to provide a more detailed timeline for Chermiti’s return in the coming weeks.
