Everton’s young talent Francis Okoronkwo has been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering an injury while on loan with Doncaster Rovers.
Local journalist Joe Thomas confirmed the news on X this Friday, as the striker has already returned to Finch Farm to start his recovery and rehabilitation.
The Englishman had been on loan with Lincoln City in the first half of the season before being recalled and sent back out to Doncaster Rovers in League One.
Okoronkwo seemed like he was just finding his feet for Doncaster, scoring his first goal for the club at the back end of January, before picking up a hamstring injury shortly after.
That same issue will now see him sidelined for the foreseeable future.
