Silva Reveals Andre Gomes Could Return Before Season’s End

Silva Reveals Andre Gomes Could Return Before Season’s End

Everton manager Marco Silva has revealed stricken midfielder Andre Gomes could return to action before the end of the 2019/2020 season.

Gomes suffered a horrific ankle injury against Tottenham Hotspurs at Goodison Park last Sunday following a challenge from Son Heung Min.

The Portuguese international underwent successful surgery on Tuesday and although a timeframe has not been placed on his recovery yet, it is believed he could miss the remainder of the season.

But there could be light at the end of the tunnel though for Gomes after manager Silva announced at the news conference previewing the weekend’s game against Southampton that the former Barcelona midfielder might have some part to play before the conclusion of the campaign.

"It is not easy for us to give a sure date about when Andre Gomes will return,” Silva said.

"What's in our mind and the feedback we have had from our medical staff is that it is possible we will see him playing again this season.

"Of course as we saw in that moment it is a really serious injury. It looks really serious.

"After the surgery and exams they did, everything went really well. We are not 100 per cent sure.

"For sure we will help [him]. It is tough. It was good for him - he was with us here on Tuesday before he went home.

"It was for our group to spend some minutes with him and for him to feel their support as well.

"We will stay strong - it is always a tough moment for football players when something like that happens.

"Now is the moment for us to support him. We will work really hard.

"It was tough for Andre but also for the two players involved Son and Aurier."
