Everton injury update on Charly Alcaraz and Mark Travers after the 1-0 loss to Manchester United.
David Moyes admitted Everton will be without Charly Alcaraz for a period after missing the defeat to Manchester United.
The attacking midfielder was absent from the Toffees’ squad for the 1-0 defeat by the Red Devils at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Benjamin Sesko’s second-half goal continued Everton’s woes at their new ground. They have won just four times since moving from Goodison Park since the start of the season and failed to prove victorious in their past seven home matches in all competitions.
Moyes’ side turn their attention to a trip to Newcastle United on Saturday. Everton face a Magpies outfit also in the race for European qualification. But Alcaraz is set to be absent for a ‘few weeks’ according to the Toffees boss.
Moyes said: “Charly picked up an injury in the last minute in training [on Sunday]. We’ll probably lose him for a few weeks.
Meanwhile, No.2 goalkeeper Mark Travers was another absentee against Manchester United. The summer signing from Bournemouth sustained a finger injury in training and is doubtful to face Newcastle. Moyes added: “He got a damage to his finger, so that was his reason.”
Everton will welcome back Jake O’Brien to their squad after he was suspended against Man United.
