Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure has revealed that he is confident of playing again this season, having suffered a foot injury in March.
The Frenchman has been a key player for the Toffees since joining from Watford last summer.
Doucoure joined in a reported £20 million deal, following Allan and James Rodriguez to Goodison Park in an impressive recruitment drive from Marcel Brands and Carlo Ancelotti.
Since then, Doucoure has made 30 appearances for Everton, scoring three goals and assisting three more.
It is also no coincidence that Everton are yet to win a game since the Frenchman’s injury, losing against Chelsea and Burnley before drawing with Crystal Palace.
