da fezbet: Everton confirmed on Tuesday, via The Liverpool Echos’s Phil Kirkbride, that midfielder Fabian Delph is unlikely to be available for the Carabao Cup clash against Leicester City at Goodison Park on Wednesday night, and Toffees fans have destroyed him on Twitter.
da apostaganha: The 30-year-old summer addition has been absent through injury since the beginning of November, but hopes may have been high that he could make his return against the Foxes having returned to light training ahead of the trip to Manchester United at the weekend.

It appears as though that isn’t the case though, and with the Merseyside outfit already missing Morgan Schneiderlin, Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Andre Gomes through injury in the middle of the park, they are short of options for the visit of Brendan Rodgers’ men.

Many supporters have taken the opportunity to rip into a man who has made just the six Premier League starts since his £10m move from Manchester City, suggesting he shouldn’t have been brought in with one individual labelling him as a “pointless signing”, and another calling him a “total waste of money”.
Others suggested they would be happy never to see him in an Everton shirt again, with one telling the 30-year-old he “should retire”, and another saying he “needs putting down”.
That is probably slightly harsh given he is still in the early stages of his career on Merseyside, but also understandable given he missed a total of 61 games during his spell with Manchester City because of injury, as per Transfermarkt.
Finally, one provided a sarcastic response to the update and suggested that 2021 would be too soon for him to return as well – it would certainly be far from ideal given his contract is due to expire in the summer of 2022!
