**Leicester, England** – Everton manager Sean Dyche faces a mounting injury crisis just days before a critical Premier League clash against Leicester City on Saturday.
The Toffees, who are currently bottom of the league with no points from four games, have a long list of potential absentees for the King Power Stadium match. Following a dismal start to the season, Dyche has been met with fierce criticism from Everton fans.
Dyche revealed that only 12 outfield players were available for Tuesday’s League Cup loss to Southampton due to injuries and illnesses.
While several players including Jarrad Branthwaite, Nathan Patterson, Vitaliy Mykolenko, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Jack Harrison are progressing in their recovery and could be available, James Garner, Seamus Coleman, Armando Broja, and Michael Keane remain sidelined.
Dyche described the situation as unprecedented, saying, “We’re hopeful we can get a few bodies back so we’ve got a proper day’s prep. It’s a rare reality, but still a reality I’ve not experienced this many injured and ill in such a short space of time.”
The Toffees, who narrowly avoided relegation last season, are once again looking like contenders for the drop. Leicester, who were relegated on the final day of last season, will be looking to capitalize on Everton’s woes.
The match on Saturday promises to be a tense encounter, with both sides desperate for a win to boost their respective campaigns.
