Mason Mount ruled out of Manchester United clash v Everton as injury news emerges
Manchester United ace Mason Mount has been ruled out of the upcoming clash with Everton due to injury, according to 90min.
The publication reported on its website on Friday (24 November) that the midfielder will not play in the match on Sunday (26 November).
The Toffees welcome the Red Devils to Goodison Park in their first match since being docked 10 points for financial breaches.
Sean Dyche’s side go into the match sitting 19th in the Premier League table, with Erik ten Hag’s men currently in sixth.
“Sources have confirmed to 90min that Mount has been ruled out of Sunday’s clash with Everton but United officials are hopeful the midfielder will return to action before the end of the calendar year.”
Tough times
Both Everton and Manchester United are enduring tough times at the minute, albeit for very different reasons. Red Devils boss Ten Hag has had to deal with several injury problems in recent times, and it seems that he may have to do without midfielder Mount for the trip to Goodison.
The Toffees meanwhile have their own issues off the pitch, having plummeted to 19th place in the table following their 10-point deduction.
It was a huge blow for Dyche, his players and Everton fans, particularly given their recent rise to 14th place in the table.
However, one positive that may arise from the recent news is an expected response from the Toffees supporters, who should be in full voice to cheer on their team on Sunday.
Fortunately for the Everton players, the upcoming clash with the Red Devils is at Goodison Park, meaning the home supporters should provide a welcoming atmosphere for the hosts and a hostile one for the visitors.
