Double blow looms for Toffees ahead of Irons clash

The Hammers may receive a second boost for the Everton game with Theo Walcott now probably less than fifty/fifty to make the game for The Toffees.

With Richarlison ruled out via suspension, it has now emerged that the former Gooner may also be unavailable for the game.

Walcott left the draw with Huddersfield  after picking up a rib injury, and although there is a chance he could feature it’s a thin one.

Should he be declared unfit, manager Marco Silva will have something of an attacking crisis on his hands with no  Richarlison and the status of new signing Bernard unknown heading into the week.

Walcott’s chance will be left in his own hands according to reports and should he suffer no fresh pain in his rib in the lead up to the game he will be given the all-clear.

The former Arsenal man has been one of Everton’s best players so far and his appearance would be crucial for the Merseysiders.
