Idrissa Gueye to miss Premier League contest against Crystal Palace
David Moyes has confirmed Idrissa Gueye will miss the upcoming match against Crystal Palace. The Senegal defensive midfielder plays for Everton, who are trying to secure a spot in European competitions as the season comes to an end.
Gueye could not play in the last match, a 3-3 draw with Manchester City. In a press conference ahead of the Crystal Palace game, manager David Moyes confirmed that Gueye, who is 36 years old, will not participate. Moyes said, “He’s fine. He’s not training yet, but it’s not a serious injury, so we hope he’ll be back soon.”
Gueye debuted for Senegal in 2011 and played in the 2012 Summer Olympics, taking part in one match. He has played in two FIFA World Cups and six Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
After losing in the 2019 AFCON final, he helped Senegal win the 2022 final. Gueye holds the record for the most caps for Senegal and is the first player from Senegal to earn over 100 caps.
He started his career at Diambars in Senegal and joined Lille’s reserve team in 2008. He played for Lille’s first team from 2010 to 2015, winning Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France in 2011. He then moved to Aston Villa and a year later signed with Everton.
