Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has ruled out Alex Iwobi from their Premier League game against Burnley on Boxing Day and the midfielder could be out of action until the New Year.
The Super Eagles star was forced off only 11 minutes into their 0-0 draw with his former club Arsenal last weekend after sustaining a hamstring injury.
The 23-year-old has since been nursing the problem and may not play a further role for the Toffees this year as he is set to be sidelined for about ‘two to three weeks.’
“Alex Iwobi is not going to play in the next games,” Ancelotti told Everton TV.
