Amadou Onana sends three-word 'war' message after Everton injury concern

Everton midfielder Amadou Onana has posted a strong message on social media as the Blues look to extend their home run against Aston Villa.

A rare goal from Seamus Coleman was enough to see off the challenge of Leeds United as they edged past fellow relegation strugglers to move out of the relegation zone last week. The Belgian has been an integral member of the Everton squad this season in his first Premier League campaign after arriving in the summer.

He limped off against the Whites last weekend prompting concern for his involvement this weekend as Sean Dyche looks to pick up a third straight home win. However, the 51-year-old moved to dismiss fears of his absence ahead of this weekend's showdown with Unai Emery's side.

And the 21-year-old has emphatically quashed concerns in the build-up to tomorrow's encounter (3pm kick-off). Taking to Instagram, he posted: "Ready for War….#AO8#makethemshutup#utt".

The Everton midfielder was subject to speculation over his future at Goodison Park with links to Arsenal and Chelsea in January but Onana defiantly denied those claims.

Ahead of their clash with Villa - who are looking to end their losing run - the Belgium starlet appears to be in game mode and after the former Burnley manager's admission, he is in line to man the midfield again.

"Ama is not serious, more of a knock," said Dyche. "So, we have been monitoring that but he is training – he’s fit."
