Jesper Lindstrom Everton return update emerges after injury blow
Everton attacker Jesper Lindstrom is not expected to have too different a pre-season as compared to his teammates, despite a recent hernia surgery, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert claims that it also depends on the specifics of the procedure, whether it was a true hernia or a sports hernia.
David Moyes confirmed that the Danish winger underwent surgery on 10 April, putting a premature end to his season.
Lindstrom expected to return at the start of pre-season
As the 25-year-old will not be playing again this season, he certainly will not be back for pre-season at full fitness.
However, despite that, he’s not expected to have a pre-season too dissimilar from his teammates.
What remains to be seen is where he is ahead of next season, as he’s on loan at Goodison Park from Napoli.

Speaking exclusively to Goodison News, Dr Brar, a specialist in Physical Therapy and a Sports Scientist, said about Lindstrom: “The recovery depends on the specifics of the procedure, particularly if it’s a true hernia vs a sports hernia but typically looking at a matter of around six weeks at minimum.
“If that is the case, then I wouldn’t expect his pre-season to be that different from his teammates, as he should be back to training by then.
“He should be ready to return to training in late June or early July, whenever pre-season begins.“
Everton may avoid signing Lindstrom permanently
Everton should avoid signing Lindstrom permanently due to his underwhelming loan spell from Napoli and the club’s strategic priorities.
The 25-year-old winger has struggled to adapt as he would’ve liked and has not been a regular goal threat.
His performances don’t justify a permanent deal, especially when Everton need proven contributors to avoid relegation.
With financial constraints and a focus on developing young talent or signing cost-effective players, investing in Lindstrom risks diverting funds from critical areas like a long-term Seamus Coleman successor or attacking reinforcements, making a permanent move impractical.
