Everton have extra midfield option as former defender opens up about injury 'curse'

Your Everton morning headlines for Sunday, March 27.

EXCLUSIVE: Morgan Feeney names the two Everton games 'he will take to his grave' and opens up on injury 'curse'

Thursday, November 23, 2017. Thursday, December 7, 2017. Two dates that are not exactly etched into the Everton history books.

But for former Blues defender Morgan Feeney, they are two dates, as he puts it, he will take to the grave with him.

They are two dates that the boyhood Blue achieved his lifelong dream. Two dates when he did what every Evertonian growing up as a child wants to do. Two dates when the Litherland-born defender pulled on the famous Blue shirt to represent the side he has followed since he was able to walk.

“I always dreamed as a kid, like every fan does, to make their debut for Everton. Run on the pitch and put the shirt on, and I managed to do that at Goodison,” Feeney recalls to the ECHO in an exclusive chat when asked about the games.

Everton may have just been handed 11-game solution to their midfield problem

Heading into a crucial final 11 matches of the season, the thoughts of many Evertonians have turned towards the fitness of Fabian Delph . Undoubtedly, a few weeks ago, you couldn't have predicted that.

The Manchester City star's signing was met with a fair amount of acclaim when it was confirmed in the summer of 2019. It made a lot of sense - an experienced and versatile Premier League performer, coming from the then-champions, still with seemingly a lot to give.

Nobody needs reminding of how things have turned out, but let's just say that the Finch Farm treatment table has seen more of the midfielder than anyone would have liked. Other controversies have cropped up here-and-there, but it's the regular availability that has seemingly held Delph's time at Goodison Park back thus far.

He's now entering the final months of his contract, with there being real uncertainty over what is to come in the future. Before that point comes, however, he still could have a last little something to give to the Everton faithful, though.
