Jean-Philippe Gbamin has disclosed that the open-handed support from the Everton medical staff played a decisive role behind his return to playing football again.
After a long absence from the beautiful game due to injury, the Cote d’Ivoire international played his first Premier League game for Everton in 597 days against Crystal Palace on Monday.
The 25-year-old came in for goalscorer James Rodriguez in the 79th minute as Carlos Ancelotti’s men played out a 1-1 draw with the visiting Eagles at Goodison Park. That was his third league appearance since joining from the German Bundesliga in 2019.
