Iwobi Ruled Out For Three Weeks With Ankle Ligaments Damage

Iwobi Ruled Out For Three Weeks With Ankle Ligaments Damage

Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi has been ruled out of action for three weeks after suffering ankle ligaments damage.

A hard tackle from Tyrell Malacia in Friday's 3-1 defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup saw Iwobi taken off on a stretcher in the second half.

Iwobi has been an ever-present for Everton across all competitions this season, playing 21 times while scoring one goal and providing five assists.

He has been one of Everton's better performers in a difficult campaign which sees the Toffees once again battling to retain their Premier League status.

Frank Lampard's side are currently 18th on the Premier League standings.

A club statement providing an update on the Nigeria international's current condition read: "Alex Iwobi is expected to be out for around three weeks with the ankle ligament injury sustained against Manchester United on Friday."

"The Everton midfielder was taken off on a stretcher early in the second half of the FA Cup tie at Old Trafford. Scan results on Saturday confirmed a lateral ligament injury that will be managed conservatively by the Club’s medical team at Finch Farm."

The 26-year-old is expected to miss upcoming matches against Southampton, West Ham United and former club Arsenal.
