Everton v Chelsea injury news: Doctor shares Amadou Onana update
Everton midfielder Amadou Onana is likely playing through an injury and may miss the Chelsea game, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert has assessed his recent fitness record and believes that the club are managing the situation until the end of the season in May.
For the Chelsea clash at Stamford Bridge on 15 April, the 22-year-old may be required to pass a late fitness test.
Speaking exclusively to Goodison News, Brar, a specialist in Physical Therapy and Sports Scientist, said about Onana:
“I doubt it’s a very significant injury but it sounds more like one that is lingering and being managed until the end of the season.
“There’s always the risk of knock effects of carrying an injury and playing through it.
“He appears to be touch and go for the next one and may need a late fitness test.
“Seems 50-50 as of now.”
Onana injury is a worry for Everton
As mentioned above, players run the risk of further injuries if neglect their condition for too long.
The Toffees will be hoping that’s not the case with the Belgian as he’s arguably their best player and has proven himself time and again under Sean Dyche.
His value also may have doubled since he’s moved to Goodison Park and clubs are already making moves to sign him this summer so retaining his services is going to be far from easy.
