Everton defender may miss Hammers game

|

 Everton’s Lucas Digne has picked up a thigh injury and may miss the game against us at the London Stadium this weekend.

According to Sky News the 25-year-old picked up the injury in training last week and is now a doubt for the game.

The left back wasn’t named in the France squad that beat Moldova in Friday’s Euro 2020 qualifier and has been ruled out of today’s game against Iceland returning to Everton.

The Frenchman’s absence would be a blow for the Toffees as he has played in 30 games this season, scoring and creating eight goals from left back.

If he fails to make the game Marco Silva could call on Leighton Baines to replace Digne if he’s not passed fit in time for Saturday.
