Everton will be hoping it is not a serious injury for Dwight McNeil
His training absence suggests that his injury might be more significant than initially assessed by Dyche.
Initially, there was optimism regarding McNeil’s injury from the Fulham match, with hopes it wasn’t severe.
However, his non-participation in training indicates a potential underestimation of the injury’s impact.
This development casts doubt on his availability for the upcoming match at St Mary’s and potentially beyond.
The fact that Dyche’s press conference was anticipated to shed light on McNeil’s condition underscores the uncertainty surrounding his recovery timeline.
If his injury indeed requires more than just a match or two to heal, it could pose a substantial challenge for Everton, given his integral role in their side
