Frank Lampard hopes to get Everton duo back v Crystal Palace
Everton will face Crystal Palace at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Thursday (19 May).
Ahead of the match, Frank Lampard has suggested that he hopes to get back Michael Keane after the defender missed the previous game with an illness.
According to Evertonfc.com, Ben Godfrey will be ready for the midweek game as well.
“Michael was sick the other night, we hope that was only a 24-hour thing, as it would be great to get him back,” said Lampard, as quoted by Evertonfc.com.
Big boost
The Toffees are light at the back after Jarrad Branthwaite was shown the marching orders against Brentford.
Mason Holgate now remains the only fit central defender in the team with Yerry Mina still absent.
If Keane and Godfrey, both make a timely return, the Toffees will be heavily boosted.
This is a game they must win. Forget about Arsenal. Forget about the final game. This is it.
The Toffees must beat Crystal Palace at home, and book their place in the Premier League next season. It’s do-or-die for them.
The fans have been incredible, and they showed great support for the team throughout. The players now need to step up once more and pick up all three points.
It remains to be seen if Fabian Delph can get back to fitness after he missed the last game. Andre Gomes was superb against Brentford, and he is likely to continue against Palace in the midweek.
