Ben Godfrey is set to be out for several months after breaking his leg after 10 minutes of the season in Everton’s 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.
Everton also lost fellow centre-back Yerry Mina to an ankle injury on a damaging opening day at Goodison Park when Godfrey was stretchered off and taken to hospital after being hurt in a challenge with Kai Havertz.
