Richarlison sends Everton 'promise' and injury update after loss to Liverpool

Everton forward Richarlison has sent a "promise" to supporters that the team will get out of their current relegation plight.

The Toffees are in the bottom three of the Premier League table after a disappointing Sunday. Burnley's win over Wolverhampton Wanderers saw them leap above the Toffees, who were unable to respond in the Merseyside derby.

Despite a dogged defensive performance for an hour and what was seemingly a clear penalty waved away early in the second half, Liverpool ran out 2-0 winners thanks to goals from Andrew Robertson and Divock Origi.

Richarlison was in the thick of the action throughout the game as he led the line for the Toffees, but he was unable to have a major impact on the game up against Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip.

The Brazilian was visibly frustrated during the contest, although after the game he shared a bullish message to supporters on his Instagram.

"I promise we will get out of this situation," he said. "Fans [we] need you this week."

Richarlison also shared an image of what looked like a nasty twist of his ankle in the first half when he sought to close down Thiago.

"Thank you for the message," he added. "Thank God it was nothing serious."

Everton are next in action against Chelsea on Sunday in the Premier League, where they will be hoping to continue their strong run of form at Goodison Park.
