Ancelotti: Everton showing patience with Gbamin after 18 months on the sidelines

Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has disclosed that Jean-Philippe Gbamin will not be rushed back to action in order to avoid a relapse of his injury problems.

Gbamin first suffered a thigh injury after making his second Premier League appearance in the Toffees' 1-0 win over Watford on August 17, 2019.

The injury kept him out for eight months but in May 2020, he ruptured his Achilles tendon in training while trying to recover to full fitness, which subsequently made him go under the knife and has extended his spell on the sidelines by another 10 months.
