Everton's Chermiti to miss the start of the season

SPORTS 05.08.2024

Everton striker Youssef Chermiti has been ruled out of the start of the Premier League season after undergoing minor surgery on a foot injury, the club announced on Monday.

Text size:

The 20-year-old suffered the injury in training, with a Toffees statement saying Chermiti "will now begin rehabilitation under the care of Everton’s medical team".

The Portuguese came off the bench to provide an assist and score two goals in a 3-3 pre-season draw at Sligo Rovers and then starred a substitute in a defeat at Salford.

Everton manager Sean Dyche said after Saturday's win at Preston that Chermiti's injury was "a bit of a blow because he's done great in pre-season and looked sharp".

He added: "We'll have to wait and see, but it's certainly not going to be a couple of weeks –- it will be longer than that."

Everton, who finished 15th in last season's Premier League, begin the new campaign at home to Brighton on August 17.
