• Player had successful surgery to repair fracture dislocation• Silva facing shortage in central midfield for Southampton game
Marco Silva has said André Gomes could play again for Everton this season despite the horrific injury sustained against Tottenham.
Gomes underwent a successful operation on Monday to repair the fracture dislocation he sustained to his right ankle following Son Heung-min’s foul at Goodison Park. The Portugal international has returned home for a few weeks as he begins a long rehabilitation process but Silva, while reluctant to put an exact time frame on the recovery, is optimistic the midfielder could feature before the campaign is over.
