Calvert-Lewin, Mangala and McNeill: Everton injury news and expected return dates ahead of Bournemouth clash

Everton turned to David Moyes as their new manager earlier this winter. They brought back the Scotsman following their decision to sack Sean Dyche.

He has made a positive impression so far as he looks to keep the Toffees in the Premier League. They are moving into their new stadium in the summer.

The Toffees are in FA Cup fourth round action this weekend against fellow top flight outfit AFC Bournemouth as they look to progress in the competition. They saw off Peterborough United of League One in the third round in January.

Everton defensive and midfield injuries

Seamus Coleman - out. Everton remain without the right-back due to his ongoing injury issues. It remains to be seen at this stage when exactly he will be available to feature again. He won’t be risked though and needs time to return to training. Expected return date: 15/02/2025

Orel Mangala - out. The midfielder has been ruled out for the rest of the season for the Toffees which is a blow. He has posted on social media: “Thank you for all the messages of support - it is hard news to take. Believe with God on my side, I will be back soon and stronger than ever before!”

Meanwhile, Moyes has said: “Mangala will go back. I think we're waiting for the surgeon to clear it. I think he will be operated on in France (with Lyon), as far as we know.” Expected return date: N/A

Everton attacking injuries

Armando Broja - out. The striker has had rotten luck on the injury front over recent years. He picked up an ankle injury last month against Peterborough and it is looking like March by the time he is fit again. Moyes shared this update on him: "Not absolutely happening but his injury is now going to take a lot longer than initially thought. It is one of the options that might be available but people around the club are talking about it with Chelsea." Expected return date: 01/03/2025

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - out. Everton’s attacker has struck with a hamstring problem which isn’t ideal. He picked up the issue against Brighton and Hove Albion and his head coach has said: “Dom doesn’t need any surgery, he’s been checked so from that point of view it’s not a good injury but it’s maybe not quite as bad as we first feared when he got it. So we’re hoping that might not be as long as maybe first expected.” Expected return date: 08/03/2025

Dwight McNeill - out. He has been in the treatment room for a while as he looks to step up his recovery. The Toffees are being patient with him right now. Moyes has said: “Dwight has had a minor surgery. I've just spoken to him as I've walked into the press conference. Hopefully, that has now sorted out his injury, which was a little bit difficult to diagnose.” Expected return date: 26/02/2025

Youssef Ramalho Chermiti - out. The forward hasn’t featured at all yet this term. However, he isn’t too far away now. Expected return date: 26/02/2025
