Summer Signing Jean-Philippe Gbamin Set to Miss Up to Three Months With Thigh Injury

Everton midfielder Jean-Philippe Gbamin could be out of action until November after suffering a thigh injury in training.

Gbamin, 23, was signed by the Toffees from Bundesliga side Mainz this summer to replace Idrissa Gueye. He appeared for Everton in their opening fixtures against Crystal Palace and Watford, but was not involved in their defeat to Aston Villa after picking up the muscle injury in training.

According to the BBC, Everton manager Marco Silva admitted that the injury is 'more significant than expected', leaving the Toffees without him for a number of weeks.
