Everton confirmed yesterday that midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has undergone surgery on a knee problem.
The French midfielder picked up an injury during Everton’s 3-2 defeat against Arsenal in the last match, and he may not play again this season.
He had suffered a torn meniscus and the club have refused to put a timescale on his potential return. The former Southampton is “set for a period out of the team.”
Schneiderlin has made 18 appearances in all competitions for Everton this season, and was playing regularly under Ancelotti.
Many Everton fans have reacted to the news after the club posted an update on their official Twitter handle.
