Everton play Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend, but they have got a much-needed injury boost ahead of the encounter.
Who is presently injured for Everton?
Following two weeks without a game due to international football, the Blues return to domestic play on Sunday international.
Sean Dyche’s team has had a difficult start to the season, with only one point from four league games, and things don’t get much easier on Sunday afternoon, when Arsenal visit Goodison Park.
As Mikel Arteta continues to construct a strong team, the Gunners appear to be Manchester City’s main championship opponents, therefore Everton will have their job cut out for them.
The Blues aren’t without injury concerns heading into the game, with Jack Harrison still out after joining on loan from Leeds United, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin also out but close to returning.Following Dyche’s news conference on Friday, one encouraging development involving an Everton player has emerged.
Is Jarrad Branthwaite fit to play against Arsenal?
According to Liverpool World, Jarrad Branthwaite is fit to play against Arsenal this weekend after recovering from an injury, and Dyche’s statements on other players are also included:
“Jack Harrison has yet to make his debut after joining on loan from Leeds United due to a hip injury.” The winger was seen at team practice earlier this week, but the game is too close.
“During his pre-match press conference, Dyche stated, ‘Dom is back on the grass and should be clear.'” Jack Harrison is presently relaxing on the lawn. Not Jack; he was simply out on the grass with the guys. We’ve only been practicing with them for a few days. Dom has maintained his fitness.
“Jarrad Branthwaite missed England Under-20 duty due to a minor groin injury but is fit to play.” Lewis Dobbin was injured and missed the 2-2 tie at Sheffield United before the international break.”
This is obviously good news for Everton ahead of a game in which they may have to defend for long stretches due to Arsenal’s talent, whether it’s Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, or others.
Branthwaite is coming off a great season on loan at PSV Eindhoven, where he made 27 Eredivisie games and three in the Europa League, as well as being dubbed “complete” by Ruud van Nistelrooy.
It remains to be seen if Dyche starts the Englishman against Arsenal, but he started with James Tarkowski in Everton’s previous game, a 2-2 draw away to Sheffield United, so it makes sense to keep him if he is considered healthy enough.
The teenager will need to be at his best against either Eddie Nketiah or Gabriel Jesus as he attempts to improve on his Premier League average of two tackles and two interceptions per game this season.
