Everton fans have called for Sean Dyche to be sacked but no decision on his future is expected to be made until the Friedkin Group are installed as the new owners.

Kevin Thelwell believes Everton’s takeover will be completed soon, so there are certainly reasons to be optimistic for the Goodison faithful.

Though, Dyche is set to be without a £30m ace on Saturday as he’s been ruled out due to injury.

Armando Broja ruled out of Brentford clash

Armando Broja joined Everton on a season-long loan from Chelsea during the summer transfer window but he’s still awaiting his debut.

Broja has been sidelined with an achillies injury but Dyche noted in Thursday’s presser that he’s had a full week of training.

Unfortunately, the young forward will miss the Brentford clash but his return to action is ‘very soon now’, the Toffees boss told the Liverpool Echo.

Asked whether he can solve the goalscoring woes, Dyche added: “We brought him here to offer us something.”

Broja could play for the under-21s

Everton plan to ease Broja back into action to ensure he doesn’t suffer any further setbacks.

So, it’s understood Broja could feature for Everton’s under-21s before making an appearance with the first team.

The Toffees have a £30m buy option on the Albania international, so he’ll have to enjoy a prolific second half of the season for that to be activated.

He could get his opportunity in the coming weeks, though, with a congested fixture list ahead.
