Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall suspended: Which games the Everton star will miss after incident vs West Ham
Everton drew 1-1 with West Ham on Monday, in what was a frustrating result for the hosts.
The Toffees were seemingly cruising in the first half, and went 1-0 up thanks to a Michael Keane header.
However, Jarrod Bowen would eventually get an equaliser for the Hammers in the second half, in what was a poor performance.
Little went right for Everton, with Beto having a poor game at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Now, things have only gotten worse as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is now set for time away from the pitch.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall suspended after fifth yellow card of the season
Going into the West Ham match, the midfielder was already on a tightrope.
Dewsbury-Hall picked up his fourth yellow card of the season against Liverpool for taking a free-kick too quickly.
Now, this has seemingly come back to haunt Everton, with the former Chelsea star getting his fifth yellow for his reaction after a tackle on Kyle Walker-Peters.
As a result, Dewsbury-Hall has now picked up a one-match suspension and is set to miss the home match against Crystal Palace on the weekend.
Chance for Carlos Alcaraz vs Crystal Palace?
Carlos Alcaraz has had few moments to shine so far this season.
The attacking midfielder’s appearances have mostly come from the bench and during the Carabao Cup.
With Everton now out of the latter, thanks to the 2-0 defeat to Wolves at Molineux, Alcaraz may have to wait for a shot in the starting XI once more.
- Dewsbury-Hall is now suspended for the Crystal Palace match
- Alcaraz is likely the favourite to replace him in the starting XI
- However, Moyes could opt to change his system against the London club
However, this may come on the weekend when Everton take on Crystal Palace.
The attacking midfielder is surely the first in line to replace Dewsbury-Hall in the lineup, and Alcarez will be able to show Moyes why he deserves to stay there.
