Everton have had more injuries than any other side in the Premier League as the problems continued to mount for Frank Lampard ahead of his side's trip to face Burnley on Wednesday evening.
Ahead of the Blues' recent 2-1 defeat to West Ham United on Sunday afternoon, Donny van de Beek pulled out of the warm-up with a thigh issue that will keep him out of the away match at the Clarets. It was also confirmed that Nathan Patterson, who rolled his ankle the day before the visit to the London Stadium last weekend, would require surgery and could miss between eight and ten weeks.
Those latest issues can be added to Yerry Mina, Andros Townsend and Tom Davies, who remain sidelined with long-term issues - with Andre Gomes also missing his side's last match with a knock. Everton will, though, be able to welcome back Seamus Coleman and Fabian Delph to the squad to face Sean Dyche's side after they were absent against the Hammers.
