Christian Norgaard has not yet made his debut for Everton after arriving at the club with an injury, but there is good news regarding the midfielder today.
Christian Norgaard signed for Everton at the start of August, paying Arsenal about £7 million for the experienced midfielder, who had struggled for minutes last season.
A lot of fans approved Norgaard’s signing for just £7 million, given all he brings in terms of leadership as well as ability.
But sadly we have not yet seen him in action, with Norgaard having been dealing with a groin injury – but today there is a boost for the Toffees.

Christian Norgaard finally spotted in Everton training after recent injury
Moyes said earlier this month he hoped Norgaard would return over the international break, and this afternoon, Everton have released some pictures of Norgaard out on the training pitches at Finch Farm.
And it seems he has been training with the group and not just doing individual work. In one of the pictures, Jack Grealish can be seen in the background.
It is great news, given how small Everton’s squad is at the moment. David Moyes cannot afford to have too many players unavailable if the club are to be competitive.
Thankfully so far, he has been the only big injury absentee, although Merlin Rohl did miss out against Ipswich Town with a minor issue.
But Norgaard coming back is positive. That said, he may not find it easy breaking into the current team.
Harrison Armstrong has enjoyed an excellent start, and James Garner was starting to look a lot fitter in recent games. He is now with the England squad, and he got more minutes off the bench against Spain on Saturday.
The new images of Norgaard will surely point to him being available for the next match against Hull City on October 11.
There has been talk of Everton playing a behind-closed-doors friendly match against Blackburn Rovers during this international break, so that would be a good opportunity for him to get a bit of match sharpness before that match against the Tigers.
